"Experts" in being cut out of your children's lives? I bet the "experts" aren't advising people in this situation to reconsider the morality of their stance on the topics and their behavior that led to such a strong response by their children.

I got curious enough to read the article, and the very first number one thing is....

"Before attempting a reconciliation with an estranged parent or adult child, Blake said the first priority should be stabilizing oneself. "What I tend to recommend first is to get that person stable, have healthy habits and build a community," he advised. "Good mental health practices are really important.""

In other words the very first thing to do if your kids cut you out of their lives is cheer yourself up about it and find community in people who share your political and societal beliefs and may be in the same situation. Of course. That way they can reaffirm their political views, hatred for the gays, and agree that it's awful that libral commie terrorists have brainwashed the kids.

Faux News has been the propaganda arm of the Republican party since its inception, so yeah no surprise here.

Have you tried not being a racist?

I can 1000% guarantee they got an explanation, they just didn't like it and had no interest in addressing it.

"But I just want what's best for you"

pulls out KKK regalia

I took a brief look at the comment section. Now that is the definition of internet toxicity.

I did get a good laugh at the idiots saying "cut off their inheritance!" The millions that my parents have now in no way, change my mind about contacting them. You couldn't pay me enough to put up with their bullshit.

Just checked, they nuked the comments section. 0 listed now. Did anyone think to archive or screenshot any?

Edit: comments are back now, not sure what happened originally

Voting for Trump helped me reduce my holiday food bill. It also helped me clean out my Facebook friends list free of charge. 🇺🇲

😂

That is a steaming hot mess in there alright.

I feel like I need to take a shower after reading that

So weird that you never hear "my right-wing children cut me off because I think gay people deserve rights, so now I'm suing them!"

I'm no-communication with my parents for the summer. I love them but they really are deeply dysfunctional and it rubs off on me when I interact with them.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I am no-communication with my parents for 10 years now.

Next time I see them, I plan to do a little jig on their graves.

Snicker. You reap what you sow.
