my heart is breaking. my daughter is turning into a republican

140. If you had posted that you were concerned because your daughter was living with a pedophile,

or a batterer, or a criminal gang member, you would have gotten universal empathy on this thread.

The only negative thing you have to say about your daughter's partner is that he's a Republican. Republicans aren't all bad people. My mom was a member of the GOP from the day she first registered to vote, in 1955, until the mid-1990s. Her parents, my dear grandparents, were both life-long Republicans. They were wonderful people in many ways.

I will love her always... even if she marries him. I just hope she doesn't...

Maybe there is something else about this man that you don't like, and have chosen not to publish. That's understandable. But I cannot fathom feeling that you are losing your daughter because she may be taking a tack on politics that doesn't follow the way you tried to indoctrinate her.

If she does end up marrying that man, I hope for the sake of everyone in your family that you can learn to accept him.
