Apologies to My Readers, Christine Blasey Ford and Good Men
I am so sorry for my post of self pity of last week about sexual abuse. To those of you who responded in spite of it, you are very special, giving people. I rewrote the post, addressing the second half to Christine Blasey Ford. It has been a very rough time of disappointment upon disappointment… politically, with friends, and even with my male psychiatrist. But one person and one person alone HAS been there– as always… my devoted husband. He understood where most men have shockingly not. Some of you who responded to the post last week are men, and I regard you as most special, too.
When Kavanaugh was confirmed yesterday, my husband held me and let me sob the pain out of experiences from long ago. His care, his love is so pure, I think of it as sacred. It brings me to God and gratitude. I am profoundly grateful to, and for, him. These are very dark times and it is hard to see God in the current state of the country. But love surpasseth all. It is my husband’s birthday tomorrow and I will strive to give back to him, in my own imperfect way, all he has given and whatever I can add of my own.
Meantime, apologies. I am sorry my gut spoke out. And to those of you who wrote in despite that, a most profound thank you.
