I'm moving back to Frankfort, Kentucky soon! I've been living in my hometown of Flint, Michigan taking care of my Mom for 2 years. Flint is now a hellhole and most all are Trumpers! I just met a homeless man on my walk. He's living behind an old Rite Aid building in a tent in the snow and had a Trump sign on his bicycle!?? It boggles my mind how someone living in abject poverty can support Trump?! I love your writing and would love to have lunch with you someday!

Hi Teri,

Great writing, Teri. I love your flow. What are your news sources besides books and The Washington Post?

Good one Teri. But the problem is that America can middle through Trump domestically, but I fear he’ll be a disaster internationally and cause serious erosion to our standing with allies. Some serious long term consequences may result. Fingers crossed.

“We will keep him out of this house.” Exactly that. Our time for entertaining conspiracy theorists is well past. This mother is also done and pulling up the drawbridge. Circle the wagons, friend.

What a terrific, soul-touching piece! Teri, you've given us an emotional roadmap for how to manage. Thank you. Your inner child is a hero.

Hazel is gorgeous!

Thanks Teri! It IS going to be a roller coaster 4 years in the US. Sad that I hear from trumps supporters now is that if things don't work to help the American people like trump promised to get elected that it will definitely be the liberals fault.

We will just hold on as you suggest!

Take Care in Kentucky!

As long as I remind myself to relax my jaw so that I don’t grind my teeth, seems like a plan.

Thank you, Teri. Spending time with loved ones and reading. Taking care of what I can.
