I always appreciate your honesty and perspective, and more of that can come through in a Substack post like this than on other social media. Like you (like so many of us) I can get so caught up in the endless scrolling, but that's not what I want. Not ever what I want.
What a hurtful thing, indeed. I think I have read every word you've written, or at least all the ones I could find, and I never got the sense that you blamed Lydia for anything. You did love each other and loved your children; I think you both did the best you could do, despite so many strikes against you.
And I need to stop scrolling so much, myself, it does terrible things to my mental state.
Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting. God knows there's plenty to talk about.
Greetings from Middle Tennessee. Life without Facebook has much more continuity, but can feel more aimless and lonely. I’m glad I got off the meta apps a few years back. Please continue writing here, friend. We’re reading.

Keep writing and I'll keep reading.
