And I'm not accusing you of being like this per se. I do get what you are saying. However, Hillary has made it so, so difficult. And that is not your fault.

But it reminds me of the codependent, weak mommy figure who will sporadically call a family meeting and say, "Ok, I know daddy has behaved badly. Really badly. However, he's the head of our family. And we're much better off with his daily emotional assaults and the beatings--than we are without him. Besides, he's much better than Roy down the street. Roy is a meth head. At least daddy doesn't do meth. He just beats us all after drinking a gallon of Jim Beam. Now put on your smiles and count your blessings."

That's what it feels like to me. It makes me sick to my stomach.
