3. Please breathe.

My father at the end of his life (93) was very similar to Trump.

He was alienated from me and my siblings. He had implied threats against us, that he was holding "all the cards".

But once we viewed him as having limited time and his mental and physical feebleness, we knew he lacked the capacity to harm us.

Well, almost. When he died and his Will was read, he thought he was having the last laugh on us: he disinherited ALL of us. And I'm talking about a $1.5 million estate, which went to his law firm. Yeah, we missed the prospect of money and property, but at the same time, it was laughable. He thought we would be destroyed by being denied both emotional and financial recognition. We're all fine. (Well, maybe not our sister who thought that our brother and I would be punished, not her, the Golden Child.)

So, let's re-group and keep the pressure on Trump, his cabinet, and Congress. We're not giving up.
