I'm so sorry to hear about all of your recent troubles and admire you for trying to look on the bright side.
On a separate note, I'm appalled that a mental health professional would actually suggest that a difference of political opinion justifies cutting off family and friends! The political landscape changes at least every 4 years; family and true friends are for a lifetime.
Frankly, I would not refer to her as a mental health "professional" but rather as an "impersonator." The ability of some people to take pettiness to such absurd heights is saddening.
Great story, but so scary and invasive!! Sorry you had to go through that! I had my loved red Audi TT stolen from my garage and I felt so angry and invaded. I did find it through the help of an online neighborhood app, but they joy-roaded into the ground and blew the engine. Needless to say I am not the same but wanted to say thank you for giving good advice to not disown your friends and family who voted differently. Good advice because he is not worth loosing your loved ones!
Oh my goodness - twice in a few weeks - what a nightmare! I'm so glad you were able to get the car back (the carseats - groan!!) though I'm sure the feeling was unnerving by the whole ordeal. And a crockpot to boot. LOL
May the rest of your holiday season be very uneventful in the best way.
I think finding positivity and possibility and the least expected places might be how to crack open the door to real civility-thanks for sharing your story—hope you cook something delicious in that crockpot!
