My dad is on his death bed, I haven't spoken to him in years, because he's full on MAGA. It breaks my heart that I lost my dad to that cult and that I'll lose him forever soon, but I will never forgive him for supporting the scum that is proud he stole womens rights.
So to answer your question, being sad and waiting for tomorrow.
To those giving you shit about cutting horrible people out of your life and saying you need to go visit...
Bullshit. Fuck that noise. I have family that I've cut out as well (although, luckily, not my parents). I'm 100% open to them rejoining my life, but their hatred for others is stronger than their love for me, and I won't allow them back until that changes. Spoiler alert: it probably never will, because there's no love like Christian "love".
Damn. I'm sorry :(
This is the correct energy. You already lost him. What's dying now is some rabies-zombie.
Sorry you had to lose him in such a horrible way. I know exactly what that's like to go through.
Blood is thicker than your dad's skull. Be bigger than him and hug him before he leaves you forever if it's possible for you. Fuck the MAGA cultist mentality. Overcome his stubbornness and pride.
People are not owed love by circumstances of biological relation. They made the bed they lie in, actions have consequences, bridges can burn.
There's a lot that's great about this. Need one change though--"scam" isn't quite the word for this. If you scam somebody you can just fool them once, get their money, and get out.
"Darn, I have been fooled once, in the past, and won't get that money back, I'll look out for that scam now". That's a scam.
Getting up every day and choosing in each instance to be not just shitty, but a nazi, isn't "getting scammed". That's something he participated in and is on the hook for. He had to go really far out of his way to do it.
It's a beautiful and clarifying sentiment that, at most, only partly applies in this situation.
Agreed. I said "if it's possible." Pride is a real motherfucker for some, but I think it can be overcome. Hopefully they can do so with their dad.
My dad is also MAGA but thankfully not very outspoken about it or I couldn't stand to be around him. I'm still quite pissed at Trump and his cult following for putting the thought into my head that his death could be a net benefit to society.
As someone who just lost a parent suddenly.
You will almost certainly regret that.
Nope, when my mom dies it will bring a weight off my shoulders, not having to make sure she doesn't know where I live. The last time she lived by us she wrote manifestos about militant lesbians forcing straight women to become like them and stapled it around work and home.
My father's death was one of the best things that happened to me.
Sure, because everyone's experience with their parents is just like yours
No they won't. I can't wait for my parents to both fucking die so I can reconnect with my sisters without them being emotionally abused.
Fuck racists, I couldn't care less how they die. They oppose my family, I spent 2 decades trying to accept my family, they didn't.
Shit, I’ve been upset for losing a friend, your right, losing a parent is terrible, sorry to hear.
