[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster.  I’m in the same boat as you, op, right down to dual fed household.   In my case it’s just one parent (mother) who is maga.   But my dad doesn’t care and doesn’t bother to challenge her (he’s libertarian, and doesn’t really care).  They’re both in 80s.   It’s sooooo hard because maga mom is really bad.   But, and I hate to say this, she made the choose to help support us financially through the years even now.   I do feel a little like I’m in a very transactional relationship with my maga mom.   I’m polite (sort of ) or just use grey rock (mostly, so maybe not so polite after all).   I don’t engage.  Many conversations I can’t even bring myself to ask a “safe” conversation starter “how was the flight?” Because she’ll bring it right back to a maga rant.  So I’m mostly Grey rock, quiet.  It’s so sad.  The last time we got together with them for an entire week of family vacation, I drank heavily at every single dinner (every night) and doing things to do by myself during the day.  I’m not a drinker but I couldn’t take it.  Next time I may need to procure gummies.  [/quote]

I’m in the same boat and I hate it. My Mom just ignores my Dads racist rants and comments to keep the peace. I can understand to an extent why she doesn’t correct his behavior but I can’t understand how my father turned into such a hateful bitter old man. He was not like this when he was raising us.
