I just don’t know how much more I can take of this crap. I’m getting silenced more and more. Most of the leftie friends, I’ve stopped talking to. I’ve stopped posting on most social media and now I’m being told to shut up by family. It’s so frustrating. Seriously, I don’t know what would I do without this group. I’m really sad.

Family means nothing, you didn’t choose them. You’ve made them important and that’s why you are letting them affect you.
Whilst true, it doesn't pay to underestimate the psychological impact family ties can have.
I took many years coming to terms with the fact my father was an asshole. We haven't had contact in over 10 years, but it's on my terms. I don't hate him, I just learned to let go. Easy to say, harder to do, but possible.
Your father resents his mother, and therefor carries her identity. Men love their children and are not supposed to have anger. You must forgive him for resenting him
I disagree with this somewhat. I think the demise of the family is a huge part of our social problems.
It is 100%; we take on our parents identity, usually our mothers so we we grow up with anger. To return to the Heavenly Father we have to forgive our mothers. But anyone who has anger is not our family.
