Wow, thank you for all these heartfelt, honest comments. It's clear we're all dealing with this at some level.

One thing I failed to mention in the piece: these separations may not be permanent but they could prove to become so. But presently, for your own mental, physical, emotional health you may need to take these steps.

You may also need to do this so that you can better press into more healthy community and into your activism on behalf of others.

And regardless, these disconnections do not have to come with malice or hatred, they can simply be clear, sober decisions we make to find some peace, and as acts of self-preservations.

Thanks again for the thoughtful responses.

I am so heartbroken by my own wife. She refuses to see what is happening. I have spent days and days trying to convince her how evil and wrong the people in charge are. I can't cut ties with my wife but I will continue to love her and hope one day she will see what is or has happened to this nation. Love your work John.
