[quote=Anonymous]It really sucks.  We aren't seeing my parents or extended family for the indefinite future because I can't deal with them. I grew up in a Christian family but while they were reasonable and thoughtful about their faith in my youth, my parents have gotten super Evangelical and paranoid about hell since they've aged. My dad types up elaborate letters about his fear for our eternal souls and hands them to us when he sees us.  And then he rapidly supports Trump. My mom supports my dad (traditional wife) and frankly isn't as mentally sharp as she once was. So I feel terrible but I can't deal with any of it. It's a horrible, horrible cult that had torn apart our family.

The irony is that my husband and I are fairly religious as well. My parents have nothing to worry about in this regard. The rest of my generation (brothers, cousins) have completely forsaken all religion.  They've had enough.

It's just horrible what the MAGA cult has done to many families like mine. I don't speak to my 80+ year old parents because of it. [/quote]
