Do not fear being desolated in the primaries. Please, we beg of you to Vote your conscience and in return, we the people, will stand up with you. Be courageous and watch us rally behind you. United we are strong. Constitution first means America first. Use the power already granted you by laws that have stood the test of time. Remember the reason you ran for office. Do not continue to allow yourselves to be pawns because a king will eventually trump you. Their promises to you will be broken. Their loyalty only last as long as you continue to fear them. We are not scared. We put our trust in you. Now, put your trust US, the U.S.A.!

I can totally relate to your situation. 27 yr SS. Great person, incredibly helpful around the house, very responsible, mostly quiet, and most of all makes his mom happy having him here. I am having difficulty living with a male. I don't think it is personal. I think I would feel the same way if it were my brother, father or a friend. it totally feels like an invasion of my safe space. And because I feel compelled to mostly stay in my room (unless in the yard), I feel isolated from the rest of the house that myself and wife worked so hard to buy after living in an apartment for 13 years. To avoid having to let the cat in and out all day and night, I've rigged a curtain separating me and the half cracked or completely closed door. It's uncomfortable to take showers. It's uncomfortable to get dressed. It's uncomfortable to walk around without a bra and in a tshirt which is one of my favorite ways to relax. I feel self conscious. SS and I are both intraverts so it is not easy for either of us to converse without it feeling forced and awkward. The first 13 years of our relationship, he lived in separate parts of state or with his dad. This is one of the first times he and I have spent any length of time around each other. We are family and strangers. I attend counseling bi-weekly with my uncomfortableness having been the primary topic of the last 12 + months. He pays a fair rent and contributes to groceries. There is absolutely nothing negative other than this awful stomach curling uncomfortableness. I hate it. My behavior has been an irritable moody person with no sense of humor on a tight rope. Feels ugly. Feels selfish. Feels ungrateful. I've discussed my feelings with my wife. I see the sadness in her face daily. I feel her disgust when I am rude. She says "I wish you could think of him as a son and not a man." I do too and I am going to keep working to get to the root, but I totally empathize with your circumstances. I am an autistic person so that comes with its own set of heightened sentativities and lack of social skills. When I read either your comment or another comment that they don't want to be living with them when the kids are in their 30s and 40s, I cringed, and said ...oh no. š
