I hear your frustration. It’s so hard to watch the people around you get that close to doing the right thing–we had such good momentum for a while–and then veer towards the opposite end of the behavioral spectrum like they were pushed. That kind of discouragement feels fucking terrible.

Take whatever time you need to heal up. If that’s forever, it’s forever; I’m sorry we left you in this state. I don’t blame you for walking away, but if having someone to commiserate about the ridiculous state of affairs would help you sort out the internal chaos and make it easier to live with, please reach out. I’m always down for political gossip.
