I don’t think we will heal from this. Ashley was so uncomfortable around her family Sunday it made me nervous. The kids were as well. I couldn’t help but be reminded of how I feel about my mother. My father voted for Hillary and he told me this is a scary time for those who voted for our first female president. It’s not just Trump, it’s all of those around him. I think I’ll take on the independent leaning toward liberal party going forward. To many people are deeply affected by the things the republican party choose to do. There are simply too many old white men in congress, we need age and term limits and things would really change for the better. Out with the old and in with the new.
Ashley’s family moved to Jersey a few years ago to be close to the grandchildren but this election has driven a wedge between her and her family. Her father thinks it will blow over but I don’t. I don’t think her mother does either. She said she felt like her vote was going too far. She should have paid attention to that gut feeling. Caleb’s father stands with Ashley, and is also very upset about Trump winning the election. I honestly think this has been a tragedy we will not come together on.
