Exactly! You hit the nail on the head, Rebecca, she is tired, exhausted. You already know my back story, and it is exhausting to twist yourself inside out day after day to try to be accepted. Not just by one family, but many people, many places. This one family just happened to be the most public in her case.

It's exhausting to try so hard over and over only for everyone to see one thing about you. It's never intelligence or compassion or kindness or how great a cook you are, it's oh, you're not white.

How many times does this woman have to beat her head against a brick wall? I'm glad she's carved out some boundaries for herself. Honestly, I kinda wish harry would have given the whole thing a big fuck you too because where I come from, you don't like my spouse, you don't like me, so bye. Of course that took decades to get there and I get, these people are his family, so, you know.

I'm trying to keep this brief, I just have so much inside my head and my heart as a mixed race woman myself. Good for her!
