I feel your angst, I too want so badly to ride the wave of optimism. And I actually do, but privately so. Nothing honestly has changed in my personal situation. My boys remain estranged, even more so & my friends & family can’t fathom anyone that would be pleased about our change in government. Having the talk is hard & I always seem to pick the worst to confide in. As you say, it’s difficult to summarize all our knowledge, it’s exhausting & also very demoralizing when it doesn’t actually change their minds. You end up feeling so crushed. I keep trying though! What have we to lose?
