a reminder that you’re under no obligation to spend time with people who make you feel like shit. sharing DNA doesn't give them any special rights to mistreat you.

I posted something like this on Facebook about not wanting to maintain and preserve relationships with toxic family members including parents, last Wednesday. I just had enough and finally read a parent to filth and said everything that needed to be addressed before either one of us dies.
Logical Family has always been the reality for so many of us for one reason or another. Friendsgiving is the way to go, build and strengthen your in person affinity groups. We are family when we say we are.
Which is why I will not be attending my partner’s family Thanksgiving. Most of his family are liberal, but unfortunately 4 are MAGA two vocally so. I refuse to spend time with them.
Agreed. Not quite DNA but told my other half I will never be in the same room as his father again. Selling out all of his granddaughters is a bridge too far.
I’m safe in my family bubble. But from my vantage point, trump supporters seem unrepentant that they have hurt family members. They ridicule them.
I cannot wrap my head around it.
I live far out of state. My father lives with my mother, sister, and two young nephews. If I spoke out, he would take it out on those closest to him. That’s a no go for me.
Hey, Shauna ... Sorry to throw in a tangent, but ...
With Donald Trump again threatening the Affordable Care Act (ACA), we should share practical, effective, ways to obtain prescriptions, medical care, and *SOME VERY SPECIFIC SERVICES* (hint, hint) with people who have been depending on Obamacare.
💯🎯 Abuse is abuse... just cuz they're family doesn't mean you have to stay in the relationship.
Family of choice can be the best choice for your mental health.

Leopard just gently nibbling.

Father's throwing their daughters to the wolves, deserve nothing tho.
However, who is going to pay for the nursing homes? Medicare may not even cover it anymore. This is frightening on so many levels.
Medicaid does, but if Trump and friends decimate Medicaid, who knows what it will cover--for those who aren't cut from the program altogether.
So, sadly, it's still a very valid question. 🙁
Multiple worst case scenarios.
