  1. I am so grateful to you, Anderson, for all of your conversations on grief. Grief is inevitable for all of us and you are helping guide us through. Sending you so much love and gratitude for your vulnerability, for not looking away from what is so hard to face. You make us all feel braver. ❤❤❤

  2. Personally, I think him getting upset about not being able to set boundaries is on him, not anyone else. The fact that your dad had so many people wanting to visit says a lot about who he was. Yes, he’s your dad — but he’s also someone to a lot of other people.

    When my dad was passing, I set boundaries too. I told people not to visit during certain times so my siblings and I could have our private moments. But I also had to recognize that he wasn’t just our dad. He was a husband, a brother, a cousin, a best friend, a veteran. There were men who literally went to war with him. Those relationships existed outside of me, and I couldn’t pretend they didn’t matter.

    It was important to my dad to express his love and gratitude to everyone who shaped his life, not just his kids. So honestly, Dax is acting selfish.

  3. Yes, manufacture consent for his weird egotistical behavior and his coziness to RFK Jr and his pseudo-intillectual rhetoric that's adjacent to the Rogan manosphere bs. Thanks Clinton News Network!
