In reply to the discussion: I Had to Explain to My 96-Year-Old Father Yesterday [View all]LSFL
(1,112 posts)I constantly have to explain to my mother that, as an essential worker, I cannot see her as I have no idea at any given time if I have been exposed. She at first tried bribing me with money, guns, or other goods, but I have held firm. Now I will never have the home and acreage that was my birthright, I have apparently been disowned. Imagine being ghosted at 51 years old by your 76 year old mother. All because the Great Orange Anal Orifice has downplayed the pandemic. I may never get to talk to her again. She has carried on a petty feud with my sister and has not spoken to her for 12 years. So I know that she means business. But I would rather have a silent living mother than a dead mother that I infected.
Mineral Man! I had no idea that you had so much life experience! You are the same age as my parents.. Mom is recently widowed, but stay away. Even before Trump she was a goddamned pill.
But I really hope you will see your pop again. You keep looking out for everyone. If everyone was like you, we wouldn't be in this shit parade.
