I ponder that as well. I wonder if it’s simply my hardwiring that makes friendships as I get older harder. As I continue to look on this particular case, I think I gave everything I could, to the point where I was loosing myself into a role I didn’t want to take on. In short, I already have one kid I’m having to tend to and help shape into a semi decent human being. I can’t spend my free time trying to reshape this already adult one. It’s hard. I see a lot of my younger self — even a mere few years ago, in her, and I see that she’s not being led like she needs to be. As the case was with me, and there’s this strong urge to help her so she doesn’t make the same mistakes I did. But as I said, she was beginning to drain me.

As for politics — I don’t believe we’ve gone head to head in that debate on here. Thankfully my political posts and responses are few and far between. But I also apologize if I’ve said something towards you, or really anyone else that’s reading this, that cause an uproar. Honestly I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind, I’m just stating my decision on why one is a better candidate for me.
