Can I share something extra personal with you? So, my wife & I are both in therapy. After what happened, it was an important & necessary thing to do. It’s been incredibly helpful.
It has also been recommended that I go to a different, separate therapy. It’s a special kind of therapy called ETT for people who have seen/witnessed extremely traumatic things.
Finding my wife the way I found her… and thinking she was dead… it really f*cked me up.
On one hand, it’s a driving force. It makes me want to FIGHT. So my wife, & our daughter, don’t have to live in a world where torturous things happen because of abortion bans, & confusing laws.
On the other hand, it’s this terrible thing that we will carry with us forever.
That’s the hardest part.
FOREVER.
The gut wrenching experience… & the images forever stamped in my memory. We will both carry it with us for the rest of our lives.
So… I can either just let the terrible thing, be the terrible thing.
Or I can go to therapy, & go out into the world & do whatever I can to defend my family, & make the terrible thing do something good.
I don’t know if that makes any sense… I hope it does. I know there are a lot of people out there supporting us, & rooting for us.
The 2nd half of today was hard.
Maybe I just needed to vent.

I woke up deeply distressed. This is the United States of America. Why on God’s earth have we allowed Donald Trump to simply get away with #January6th, stealing classified U.S. documents, be a convicted felon, and then pretend he’s a normal choice for President, again in 2024.
