This, I believe 100%. I just got assigned a new therapist and have only had one session with them so far. However, I know for a fact that this is going to be a massive topic that I need to unpack with them.

It sucks because you just know all these parents will blame "the liberal media influencing the snowflake younger generation", rather than having any introspection.

I fear its going to make Boomers/Gen X even more radicalized than they already are, and double down on reforming schools to suit the Christian narrative.

Im sorry you went through that, but Im glad you found peace. It sucks because I'm being pushed to consider going this exact route, so I know the pain/apprehension that went into your decision. Its a shitty place to be, and I have mad respect for you putting yourself first.

It really sucks, because I dont hate them, I hate their politics and their inability to respect boundaries, but I know theyll never see it that way. They'll see it as me breaking up the family because liberals are too sensitive or whatever.

Thank you, I appreciate it. We're pretty low contact as I live across the country, so I only really talk to him on holidays/birthdays to begin with, but this was an odd one-off.

I mostly really stay in contact at all because my brother has 2 babies, and the entire family is conservative (to the point that theyre considering home schooling the kiddos), and Im worried theyll never get ANY outside influence if my husband and I dont make an effort.

Its probably a worthless effort, because mentally I can only handle going home every year or so (and I make it as close to a 72 hr trip as possible), but I just feel like Im abandoning them completely if I cut everyone off now.

This fucking lie ended a conversation (that started about plumbing of all things!) between myself and my father with me screaming at him for being racist and him hanging up on me saying "Enjoy your fucking liberal life. Im hanging up now. Love you. Bye."

As a rule, I do NOT speak politics with my family because theyre HUGE MAGAts and Im the exact opposite. But my father is one who HAS to bait me. He just...its in his fucking DNA code or something. And usually I grit my teeth through it, but I couldnt this time.

Ughhhhh this pisses me off so much because I really thought that he would snort and roll his eyes at THIS lie at least. But no. He unironically believes this shit. Its fucking dangerous.

I'm someone who puts all sweets in the freezer/fridge, and just realize that some become borderline inedible with this.

Crunchwrap Supreme and drench it in Diablo Sauce with every bite!

Its my go to order!

Bruh, I've been Enlisted for ~15 years now. I 100% agree.

I want the DoD leadership to address Project 2025 so badly.

I want them to publicly condemn/shame Christopher Miller and Paul Dans for their extremely dangerous rhetoric, and their assistance in drafting that egregiously violent document.

Ugh, fucking if only.

I just want to point out, that it was RETIRED military Generals, with a letter just like this one, who got DADT repealed back in 2010, and allowed our LGBTQ brothers and sister to serve openly.

As someone originally from this state, we gotta fucking clean up our fucking mouths.

Big Allred fan here! Im not squandering my chance to get Cruz out! <3

She was a very pretty kitty, the blep is adorable! And Id'd wager very loved as well!

A good life for a good furbaby! Very sorry for your loss though, its heart breaking!

Wish he'd fucking stay gone.
