Native heartbroken Texan here; moved away to another state a few months ago; could not bear living in TX a moment longer; moved to save myself (so depressed), though I still see the horror every day in the news. My parents would be devastated; glad they’re no longer here on Earth.
You are not the first person who’s said this about your parents. I agree. My Dad would be losing it.
So sorry sugar. I fled Missouri (Texas North) back to SF months ago. Blue states can’t imagine the sacrifices we’ll make to get out of that vibe. The upper class are headed out of the country. It’s painful as all hell.
