hateful, despicable conduct. they lost their love. i'm guessing it's constant right wing media content for them, possibly QAnon, but either way, they are a toxic brew and the very last thing you need at the moment. they don't deserve you, and you deserve much, much better, especially a functional support system as you go through a trying time in your life and in your home.

If you can, I think counseling could be really helpful for you at this time. An objective listener who actually cares. Stay in touch with DU as well.

I'm really sorry. what awful people. without love and empathy, how can any two people have a mutually beneficial relationship?
