Hi Anita,

Thank you, and I completely agree. My parents are big city lawyers at the top of their organizations. I always thought they were decent people but seem to have been more radicalized recently. The only silver-lining I see is that, until recently, I always sought their approval and was very hurt when I didn’t get it. Seeing the types of things they stand for (i.e. Trump) was a wake up call, and I no longer have the desire for the approval of people like that, parents or not.

Thank you again for all of your help. Fingers crossed for a change in administration in November and for the end of the pandemic. I’ll touch base here in a few months if I’m still feeling unsure about a 2nd child and run my thoughts past you, if that’s ok. You are the best.

Charlotte
