Yes MJSchild60, I agree. I have not been able to convince either. ItтАЩs on them. And I donтАЩt really have the energy or desire anymore, at this point.
I understand. And this alone & by itself I find almost more disturbing. The evil people in this world have created such a monopoly on information that we are all starting to give up; it feels like we are beginning to show the signs of "battered-wife-syndrome" from a marriage to a sadistic & abusive Capitalism. Or, what psychologist Martin Seligman called "Learned Helplessness" (where we disassociate from fear conditioning; no matter what we do, it is impossible to avoid the electric shock from our torturers; e.g., an experiment that used dogs ... and they eventually just lay down & gave up trying to even avoid the shock).
And, then there is the science experiment with rats, where they only survived a few minutes treading water in a bucket. But, they rats that were saved from drowning at the last minute; learned to not give up hope & treaded water much longer before drowning - (as long as 20 minutes longer) - cruel experiment; I know, yet very informative. It was named the "expectancy theory of motivation" ... i.e., theorizing that humans can become stronger and more resilient, provided they have hope of surviving.
... We can NOT afford to give up. If we give up we increase our own risk of death. I know this to be a fact of animal/human nature; once we give up, it's over. Yet, I feel like you do (i.e., no energy left). AND, it's really scaring me.
... We have to find reasons to hang on & keep fighting no matter what. In other words, hopelessness kills. Literally.
Bliza ... comment "I have not been able to convince either. ItтАЩs on them. And I donтАЩt really have the energy or desire anymore, at this point" -- she mentioned regarding giving up on trying to communicate with blue-pilled ... I too have given up on trying with my family ... I see this as a bad sign.
Robyn and mzlizzi, I fully admit that living with an extremely anxious man is not ideal. Sprinkle in OCD and a few other things. ЁЯШй Especially when said man refuses to accept there is anything wrong with him. WeтАЩre all a little broken. IтАЩve got cracks all over! Lol! But I own it. Anyway, made a conscious decision to stay. After trying to leave twice. I live with intention and joy. Not always easy but the path I chose. I plan to write a substack to tell my story and maybe inspire others. Even if no one reads it, it will help me. ЁЯМ╗
I grew up in an Asperger's household yet I am NOT Aspie...but my firstborn is!! So I know what it's like living with 'crazy' !!!
PLEASE write your substack. You may never know how many people may actually read it, without liking it, but it may still have a profound effect on them.
I write my comments so that others may learn from them & their minds may open more - and I read others' comments such that my mind may open more :-) You should definitely write your story on substack because it will give a great view of someone who stays, rather than leaves, even though you does not believe in the same things as your partner; and perhaps it is precisely because you do NOT believe in those things that you are able -or choose - to stay! It sure sounds like love and commitment have played a very strong part, too. People ought to hear all sides of a story. It helps them to get a more rounded view of things.
Thanks Robyn ....Like you, I appreciate and learn from others. Thanks for your words and encouragement. I think IтАЩve found my people here! ЁЯША I enjoy reading comments too for same reasons. ЁЯТкЁЯП╗ЁЯМ╗
Maybe you should say: "you're an idiot, dear" speak your truth.
LOLOLOL
Nothing works for the blue-pilled ... NOTHING. My bag of tricks is empty.

And that is exactly what the abusive system wants ... for us to all give up & just lie down like broken animals.

Marrying someone you can call an idiot repeatedly and be agreed with is critically important. And vice versa.
Hood to know.
So I guess I'm ok, then. ЁЯдг
Been there, done that. Trust me.

Everyone walks their own path, Blisa :-)

You're a more patient woman than me. If my hubby went out and took any of these clot shots, I'd divorce him in an instant!
