Costs of this war for me:
- One lost career and associated time investment
- Failed business start-up
- Two major betrayals by those close to me
- One smaller broken boundary (but painful)
- Lots of estranged friends
- A great deal of family time foregone
- "Press" public reputation only just above axe murderer
- Low income, no savings, no pension
- A lot of psychological distress
Would do it all again without hesitation. The gains include self-worth and dignity, true loving relationships, participation in greatest endeavours, historic opportunities to be creative and apply gifts, personal growth, spiritual understanding, endless new knowledge, fabulous co-workers, new skills, crazy stories, ...
I never go to sleep with regrets or a sore conscience.
I can't even write my list. It's too painful. I'm trying my best today to not fall into a depression. Trying to convince myself that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Always praying for a quicker resolution to this mess because only then will my loved ones realize that everything I shared was truth. That's the hardest part, the impact on family relationships. Very painful. The worst is realizing that you are not spiritually connected to your spouse of 20+ years. That's no fun either. I would still make the same choice to live in truth and authenticity.
Info thank you Love all of you that are standing up for our country and taking it back. Bless U Save the children. The best is yet to come
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You have a family here that loves you. Hang in there.💕
