Oh Jess. Me too, me too. I am 65. When I visited my 91 yo SBC father a few days ago, he brought up politics. I shut it down by saying, “Would you leave me, your daughter, alone in a room with that man? And before you answer, if you say yes, we have a problem.” My father looked at his hands and remained silent because of course he would sacrifice his daughter for the needs of a good Christian man. That’s all we’re good for, right?

A friend's MIL, who has 2 daughters, one of whom is an Ob-Gyn- voted Dump twice, and I know she experienced her share of sexual abuse in the workplace. Fox News is a hell of a drug, is all I can think of...

WOW,,, with emphasis on the "OW".

My Dad was SBC raised in OK. But he was also the kid who helped his mother with all the work of 8 kids. He felt bad that his mom was so overworked and witnessed his older sister get a beating with a belt. He was very understanding and loving, and proud of his 3 daughters. I can't imagine what you went through. Congratulations on coming out stronger on the "other side".
