It has affected every part of their lives and no one was held responsible. Today: My kids thought/think I was delusional and psychotic. It has affected every part of their lives…This is what numb feels like. What else can I do but accept the situation? I can’t change it. Nothing really changes in real life anyway…only in movies are people held accountable.</news:title></news:news></url><url><loc>https://dear-diaries.blog/2026/10/18/there-are-certain-actors-whose-voices-still-make-me-smile-not-in-the-horror-flick-way-just-in-a-way-that-makes-me-feel-more-human-i-dont-know-what-would-have-happened-to-me-if-i-hadn/</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Dear diary + Help</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-10-18T20:03:30+00:00</news:publication_date><news:title>There are certain actors whose voices still make me smile.

The only way I can speak your language is if you let me talk to people directly. I know that will never happen so here we are. Every day I will live with the uncertainty. Every day I will pray for peace. At least there is not some massive storm surging through my veins anymore. It is more like a slow trickle of dull rain. Gray. Consistent. The same. Not a lot of colors. Not sure which is worse (the storm or the drip) but at least I am not dying inside anymore. Not dying yet. You say we are all here for a purpose. I used to believe that. I hope you are right.</news:title></news:news></url></urlset>
