[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I think people who found out about it after it occurred are having a different reaction than those of us who watched it all live. DH and I watched everything from 2 pm on - and there was a long stretch where it seemed it would be a successful coup. We were watching I believe cnn and the newscaster started to cry on air (they cut away from her when she did).

I recognize I would have a different reaction if we hadn’t watched it all unfold, not knowing how it would end. Also, we don’t work on the hill but like many in DC have so many friends and colleagues who do.

Regardless, I’m attempting to make this not about the attack itself, as what’s hurtful is that they didn’t reply - not that they didn’t preemptively contact me.

I think I’m not melodramatic and if anything my therapist (when I used to see a therapist, before covid) would say I should be more open with my feelings to have more authentic relationships. So, that’s what I was trying to do here; and i didn’t get any response.[/quote]

No, I experienced as the events unfolded. Most do in this age of social media. Sure while they could have texted you back you were not in immediate danger.  Then or now. What did you want them to text you back with?[/quote]
