But my husband probably has maybe two or three good years left and is that right to uproot him? And if he decides
to take the Robin Williams' exit, then what about me? Left here where I don't want to be with a house I can't sell--unless
I take a huge loss--because Trump is going to fuck the economy?
It's all fucked. Really fucked.
