12. I'm having a hard time with it
I have two sons, one with a learning disability. My instincts are in survival mode right now. I'm torn from being more politically active even post election, to keeping an eye out at what we may lose further in terms of rights and a society and adjusting my family's future accordingly. It's with me every day.
