I wanted to express my thankfulness for DU [View all]

I am thankful for DU, I quit posting a lot, like I did in the Bush/Cheney days but I come here everyday, and it helps.
My oldest son is a MAGA, I tried to advise him when I first noticed he was heading in that direction. This is back when I had a giant Democratic Underground sticker on my car, back when it was still safe to have one.

I haven't seen him in 8 years, but briefly reconnected before trump stole the election this time, then he started bragging about all the things trump and elon were going to do. He asked me what I thought about the No Kings Rallies, and I said, well, since we are in America, and America doesn't have kings, I think it's fine. That's when he called me a communist, and said he will tell my Grandchildren I'm a communist. That's when I blocked him.

My last communication was this; (I wish I'd thought of this 10 years ago)

Let Them, By Cassie Phillips

�Let Them�

�Just Let them.

If they want to choose something or someone over you, LET THEM.

If they want to go weeks without talking to you, LET THEM.

If they are okay with never seeing you, LET THEM.

If they are okay with always putting themselves first, LET THEM.

If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceived them to be, LET THEM

If they want to follow the crowd, LET THEM.

If they want to judge or misunderstand you, LET THEM.

If they act like they can live without you, LET THEM.

If they want to walk out of your life and leave, hold the door open, AND LET THEM

Let them lose you.

You were never theirs, because you were always your own.

So let them.

Let them show you who they truly are, not tell you.

Let them prove how worthy they are of your time.

Let them make the necessary steps to be a part of your life.

Let them earn your forgiveness.

Let them call you to talk about ordinary things.

Let them take you out on a Thursday.

Let them talk about anything and everything just because it's you they are talking to.

Let them have a safe place in you.

Let them see the heart in you that didn't harden.

Let them love you.�
