Feeling isolated out of the equation. Families are pillars of stability in most cases. They either rise to the occasion in loving support or turn a blind eye and ignore any thing outside their realm. Older people lived in a different era of a different time. These days are much different from days gone by. Norms have shifted. Attitudes alienated. It’s like the generation gap but more divisive. Polarizing to the point of families no longer seeing eye to eye but judging. Misconstruing things that bind us together or forever it will be lost and thinking that it’s alright. To let go. Importance of what once was is lost to things that now are. How can we overcome that. Social groups or platforms. Church groups or gatherings. Friends neighbors. Life is full of options at any age.
