Is Anyone Else Not Wanting to Say Happy New Year?

I don't want to say it because I know with Eloon and tsf in charge, I know it's going to suck. I don't want to lie about how I feel.

Offered a heartfelt Happy New Year to the sweet little widow lady at the gas station. But will it be a wish unfulfilled?

Last year was horrible and full of trauma and psychological abuse.
Im alive and free and got my kids back after that bitch had cut them off...

I get I can do things to make things not as bleak for myself and those closest to me, but I don't think it's right, to be just okay with that when so many others will suffer, and I can do nothing to stop it. I voted, I donated, I tried to share what I've learned, and it didn't help. The human race always seems to go 20 steps forward then takes 50 steps backwards.
