Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Hell, I disowned my dad for making a racist act, pretty much, pointing to a black child at a golf course and making subtle monkey actions. Later that day I said fuck it, came out to him as trans. The following weeks that he contacted my partner and I proved my decision to banish him was correct, and so I did. A zero tolerance policy for intolerant people is a must imo
Parents have no hold over you, not really. If they don't deserve your presence, don't allow it. I hope, however, that your cousins would accept your choice and stay in contact with you, because sibling love is so much more valuable.
Families shouldn't be torn over political garbage anyway, priorities are all out of wack
Holy shit, that's awful. Sorry your dad is awful, but good on you for cutting ties.
heard alot of these stories on reddit, alot them disowned thier family over being a frothing at the mouth magat.
You can't choose your relatives. But you can choose your family.
Some people get lucky, relatives and family are the same thing. I'm sorry you weren't so fortunate, friend.
Thanks! I'm okay. Like you say, I have friends who are my family :) we support each other. It's good to know that relatives aren't the only potential source of such care, despite what they might teach aha
wow that is crazy, your dad's actions were crazy I mean, I'm glad to hear you came out to him and severed that tie.
"Parents have no hold over you, not really. If they don't deserve your presence, don't allow it."
can't agree more with you here.
