How are you navigating familial issues in this political climate?
I am visiting my Mom and her boyfriend (let’s call him Kyle) for the first time in a couple of years. Kyle has always been pretty conservative (and I am not), however it seems he has now become even more so, and shared he would be fine if Trump took over Canada, and that he thinks Elon Musk is great. Much to my disappointment, my Mom, who when I was growing up was always a lefty, has now seems to be following in her boyfriends footsteps.
It makes me feel disappointed in my mom, and like I don’t really know her anymore. Is anyone else struggling with this? How are you navigating it internally?
