Is anyone else losing complete respect for the US at this point?

I feel equal measures anger and pity.

To see all that potential upended is not easy.

For any Brits who are watching what’s happening in the US and who think it could never happen to us, take heed. It could. It might. Stay vigilant.

What are some signs that a therapist may have poor boundaries with their clients?

Why am I angry and despondent when I’m not even an American? Because, I remember the US of old. I lived there decades ago when there was still tangible evidence of the country’s emotional intelligence and dignity.

Alongside the anger lies pity and compassion for those millions of Americans who know better and who have been fighting the good fight for several years now. They are depleted, tired and hopeless. It’s one thing to watch it (as I’ve been doing,) but it’s another to live it. My heart goes out to each and every one of them.

And what this decline spells for the rest of the world and its future is frightening. There by the grace of God goes my country, should a deranged cult leader emerge in our political system one day. Because, Britain has its share of bigoted dumbasses too.

What does it mean when your husband comments and likes other women on social media? He has private IG and TikTok accounts that I have no access to. He has saved videos and pictures of women on his phone.

For me, these last few US elections haven’t been about politics, policies or the economy. They’ve been about humanity. My sadness comes from knowing that SO MANY human beings are more than willing to endorse narcissism, aggression, violence, stupidity, selfishness, dishonesty and vulgarity. And to endorse it with pride, no less.

I feel angry about how dumb so many Americans are. How blind, uneducated, aggressive, immature and backward they are. The proof is in the pudding with the 2024 election result.
