It’s especially “fun” when you are the “black sheep” of the family, but it turns out that you’re actually the only white sheep and they’ve been lying to you (and/or themselves) all your life.
The crazy thing is that my parents raised me to be this way and now that I am it’s like they’re surprised I care and give a damn. It is whack to me that I am now exactly what they taught me to be and now that upsets them.
I feel that so hard. I got called a pinko commie a decade or more ago because I advocated for basic christian morals for people conservatives don’t like.
Fuck me for actually internalizing the morals I was raised with, right?
Maybe early onset dementia. One of the symptoms is loss of empathy. The lead, DDT and other pesticides they were exposed to in their youth are now taking effect. In the next few decades we are going to see a pandemic of boomers suffering from dementia.
I cut out the last of my family for this reason, about the time my shithead uncle compared ThE bRiTaLiTy Of ThE bIdEn AdMiN aGaInSt CoNsErVaTiVeS to people getting snatched up off the street and disappeared.
I love the man, but I will not tolerate that dumb bullshit in my life. Was kinda cathartic to cut him off after the last argument I had, and I don’t really expect to hear from him again since I doubt the stupid fuck will ever come to his senses

Oh, this hits home, thank you.

100% agree. Only hope is they start dying off before they cause any more damage, but we all know we aren’t that lucky.
You’re not alone
