    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.

      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.
