(11,076 posts)You are correct, her brain is not in my hands but her body is in my life and I have obligations to my sister who is very ill. There is work to be done and mother interjecting politics and religion into the situation is nothing but destructive. As it goes, mother is free to have her thoughts and ideas. The rest of us should we choose to think differently are hell bound people who intend to ruin America. She even tells my sister who is in Hospice that she needs to watch FOX. That it will make her feel connected to the world.
The two of us will never meet minds without outside help. The point of my post is that these folks are ruthless. They have some sort of feeling that they are justified in hating poor people, people of color and people of the liberal persuasion. They will not change and if the OP is experiencing problems with this type of friend the hatches should be battened because the ride is a long one.
You may be fortunate enough to not know any of these people and I am excited for you if you don't.
Mom's brain is insecure and it has sucked like a leach to FOX news and her fanatic religious views.
Quite frankly if I had to go to heaven with people like her I would much rather stoke the fires of *ell.
