Your honesty is a gift to your readers. Thank you for that. I also believe dysfunctional coping mechanism come from childhood trauma so they are not our fault. We coped the best we could from an age that we shouldn’t have had to. An age when we should have been cared for. Nonetheless, now we have to save ourselves again and educating ourselves & recognizing our patterns are essential. I’m not political but I love all your writing about personal things & paganism. I’m very happy you have found your way. You are a talented writer, a very likable person, and deserve all the love and success that you have grown into.

Terrific piece. I love the core insight connecting political beliefs and coping mechanisms. I'm working on a piece on a similar theme and will definitely cite this one.
