She'd hate it if she knew I'd asked, but she is feeling a total lack of hope, is panicking and wants out.
No matter how hard I try, I cannot instill in her the sense of hope that I have for the future. Her response to all this is to want to run and hide or do herself in.
Please, could you spare her a thought in your prayers to help her find the courage to face her fears and let them go? It would also be helping me :) TIA.
Update: Thank you so much to everyone who has responded so kindly with their thoughts and prayers. I'm heading out soon so I won't be able to respond to every reply, but know that I am grateful.
Update2: You're all amazing, and I've been moved to tears by the amount of support you've all given us. Truly, nowhere else could I have found this, and it has helped. My wife was in much better spirits when I returned home tonight.
Done, anon. My wife faces similar challenges. She's red-pilled AF, but often gives in to hopelessness and worry. We pray for America, but wonder what else we can do. She has stopped watching the sorry "news" on TV, both local and national. She will watch the weather, but turns it right off after that. It's a form of despair that I try to support her at those times, but mostly she has to process things in her own way.
A community theater group that she was involved with over the past few decades has now gone insane and will allow no one to participate unless they are "fully vaccinated".... whatever that means at any given hour. So she is be shunned by people who are her intellectual and talent inferiors over some ideological evil.
Y'all want a laugh? The local community theater group, taking their lead from the big Broadway productions, says that being fully vaccinated is "an industry standard." How laughable... as if the local productions are part of the "industry." Give me a break.
Anyway, I understand your issues and your wife's issues. It's all part of living in this dystopian culture that the Left has created for us all.
That's terrible. Terrible!
We need a new theatre to arise that is not focused on pushing leftist propaganda. Maybe your wife and some like-minded friends could create a new community theatre that welcomes not only the unvaccinated, but the produces some non-leftist plays and playwrights. That might be a way she could contribute. If they're not up to staging productions at this point, maybe they could just start with finding appropriate works and having readings. Things in motion stay in motion.
Hahaha... funny you should say that. She's at lunch right now with some fellow conservative actors to discuss that very thing!
That's great to hear! Break a leg to them!
Yes, she has always marched to a different drummer as far as theater goes. She's talented but also uber conservative and about twiceas smartas anyonein that group. She'll come out fine.
