    i had the same thought a couple times over the xmas break; but each time i reminded myself that my sister begged me to be there so i went back to pushing back on their trump asshattery.

    i’m sure that they thought that they were being respectful, so it helps me to be certain that they will never find a common ground with me without my mother there to play peacemaker and be the glue that held our family together.

    it sucks that my nieces will never be afforded the same liberties that their grandmother enjoyed and all i can do is criticize their parents openly in front of them in the hopes that they might wonder why their uncle was making their parents angry.

      It’s telling that our best plan is to cause enough of a ripple before they excommunicate that grown children will later remember to ask why that happened.

        it’s not the best plan; it’s the only way there is.
