(42,907 posts)I had a really bad relationship with my father, as did all his family. We are constantly told to love and respect our parents, but when a parent goes out of his way to show his dislike and disrespect for all people -- no exception for relatives by blood or marriage -- you quickly realize that a blind, unthinking respect just because someone is related to you is not justified, not at all.
(Fortunately, he never went MAGA He knew Trmp was a crook, but had nothing good to say about most politicians, as if they were all the same. He was more of a simplistic anarchist than anything.)
One thing you need to start thinking about now is your will. Leave some money to charitable organizations, and to Dems, favorite nieces/nephews/cousins/siblings if you feel so inclined. How much is left over for your son after the non-MAGAs get their cut is up to you, but you ought to let him know that.
Supporting Trmp cannot be let pass without consequences.
