Facebook post by Micaela (my daughter) on the day after the election
mudpuppy:
I was referring to the movie not you, Hops, but I still consider us political adversaries in that we disagree about most political issues. An adversary is an opponent.
However we are not personal adversaries or opponents, which is a distinction an increasing number of people of all stripes seem unable or unwilling to make.

Whoops!
I just realized what I wrote might sound like "last word" as in "I'm not speaking to you any more."
NOT, not what I meant! :oops:
I just meant that I wanted to give you the last word on this subject (only done with that).
Sorry for being a spaz-brain!
love
Hops

Wow! As a writer myself, I am in awe of Micaela’s talent. This essay is very powerful and certainly offered me some comfort with my increased anxiety in the wake of this election; increased anxiety for so many reasons, perhaps the foremost being that I am a survivor of both a narcissistic parent and a workplace sexual assault.
I have not posted much on Facebook since the election. Unlike your daughter, I retreat from confrontation. I applaud Micaela for speaking her mind, and doing so with such eloquence. Please let her know that her words have helped me with my anxiety, even if just a little bit. Words are so very powerful. As we know, an N can cause irreparable damage with their words. But words can also lift us up. Micaela has succeeded in doing the latter.
And I have to concur with the last comment under her post. She is far more than “just a waitress.”
Thank you for sharing this.
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
Thanks so much for your reply! I will make sure that Micaela sees it.
These are, indeed, scary times for many people, including myself.
Richard
P.S. I see these new combination stores, e.g., bank/coffee shops in my neighborhood. Maybe Micaela should open a restaurant/therapy office in NYC :lol: !

You and Micaela may enjoy the film The Brainwashing of My Dad (available on Amazon) if you haven't already.
Smart analysis.
Sadly,
Hops

Hi Hops,
I'll take a look, and pass along your recommendation to Micaela.
Thanks,
Richard

Never even occurred to me that might be what you meant, Hops.
.That wouldn't be you.
