Circumstances as they are with my wife and I, I will only say that we've been "travelling" when in reality, we actually were traveling, but were supposed to be home 10 months ago... Thanks, covid.
Anyway, just got off the phone with the dad. He gets 100% of his information from FB and msm... I was called a conspiracy theorist for asking questions, that's it, just asking questions... Asking questions makes me a fascist, qanon believing, conspiracy theorist, apparently. I even played dumb, which was only about a 50% effort, and said that I have no idea what's happening back there and just wanted his perspective.. Same as 5 years ago. Hates Trump, hates having his accepted narrative questioned.
I would like to have my dad back, so this day of reckoning for the msm and peel back of their manipulative psyop campaign cannot come soon enough.
Do you have resources you can recommend? My husband is going through a hard time with this. He read Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and it was helpful but he's looking for more guidance.
Wow. Congratulations on your freedom and on making your own a family. You sound like you have been gifted with a lot of insight and clarity.
My husband's parents do more with gaslighting, manipulation, spying, and unfortunately we now think poisoning (munchausen by proxy). It's horrible enough that my husband can't stand being in a relationship with them but all deniable enough that he's worried it's all in his head and is guilty when avoiding them. Our first child is on the way. Hopefully he will find the clarity you found and learn what to do about his relationship with them.
