Really didn’t expect them to fly off the handle like that. We’re doing okay, my mom just has a lot to deal with right now. We’ve all been uncomfortable around my grandparents for a while, even before MAGA. I’m not above cutting contact, I already did with my older sister. But my mom is different and she needs to keep a relationship with her parents for her own sake, so I gnash my teeth in private and vent to my wife and we all keep the peace.
My uncle is a different story. He is very much not MAGA, so his cancer diagnosis is just a really shitty cherry on top.
The person you are replying to has obviously never suffered a real loss, and probably needs to go touch grass.
I sympathize with you. Sounds like you and your family are doing the best they can given an extremely shitty hand dealt to you.
