My Best Friend is a Trump Supporter

[Books_Tea_Alone]

14. I understand

My parents and siblings are T. rump supporters. We were a close family, Sunday dinners, holidays , trips together, etc. My dad and brothers hardcore anti Obama racists that truly got nasty after 2008. My mom voted for the reality tv star. All think Hillary is a criminal. Of course my husband and kids are all strong Democrats who supported HRC.

So our relationships have devolved to the point where I'm only speaking to my parents about non political things barely. They are elderly and not in the best of health so this upsets me. I've cut off all contact with siblings after my brother threw a glass of water in my face at a restaurant at Easter dinner (!!) I have a strict no talking politics rule when we're together but he couldn't stand remaining silent around me any longer. I can't even imagine what would happen now.

I have to make a choice for the upcoming holidays and that will be hard. They all sound like your friend and even with the no politics rule, I still have so much anger that they out us in the horrific position we are in as a country now.

Unfortunately, I would advise to limit your contact even more. I don't think the friendship is salvageable , especially after what's coming this fall. The no politics rule only works with "normal" politicians and voters. I know it's hard- wishing you the best!
