Amber, I feel ALL of this. The moms being ripped away from their children gut me and make me panic. I want to keep my kids in our little home bubble and never let them out of my sight after watching those videos.

My husband and I just shake our heads together after the kids go to bed. Where the f*** are we living and why are so many people OK WITH THIS?

I started a new part-time job at my kids' school this week. It happened fast and I'm so glad I was approached for the position. It's a great fit. I see my kids in school every day now. I get hugs from them and other kids. I'm eyes and ears for one of our most vulnerable groups, many in our district are economically disadvantaged. I am happy to be there to make sure they get food in their bellies and are safe on the playground. This is my new purpose in the mess. And I'm going to channel all of my fear and anger into making sure our kids are taken care of for a few hours each day.

Again, not a "let go." It's a channeling. Amber, I'm with you. 100%. We're all in this together. 🩷

As a great grandmother, I appreciate you Amber. You tell it like it is. I am also in fear what they will use or do to the children. In our state, they are now allowed to come into anybody's home at any time and do a welfare check on children and the elderly, with out notice. Our freedom is gone... Yes, I too, am mad as hell. Thank you for the honest truth.
