Glennon Doyle

I was, yeah, doing the whole thing.

And two-thirds of the way through the week, he just walked up and was just, like, despondent.

And I was like, what's going on?

And basically, he was like, I can't be in this place.

Like, what is going on?

Do you people not know what's happening in the world?

And I was like, god damn it!

Because then I couldn't be like, oh, actually, I'm just lying.

I'm just... I've been acting for four days, and I'm actually really... The good news is I'm so sad and miserable.

I just had to, like... I mean, Abby and I just looked at each other across the room like, you've got to be kidding me.

I let him feel so alone.

Because he needed to see his brokenheartedness reflected in his family, and I gaslit him while trying to be a good mom.

Right, so I think that it's okay, we're not making this up.

Like all this is happening and we're feeling it in our bodies and it's okay and might even be our work to let other people see it so they can find their people and not feel so crazy and alone on the earth.

But then it's like, but how to be vertical, how to be vertical, how to be vertical and serve stretchers to show up with each other on.

Yeah.

I mean, I do have friends who are able to pull it together in a way that like they're peaceful and logical and you know, many of them and they go out in the world and with a different demeanor and I love them and follow them and,

But that's not my jam.

So the three kids, I have the three children.

And I have the oldest, and then the middle, and the youngest one.
