My college recently decided that non vaccinated students would have to go into a 7 day quarantine when they arrive on campus. My dad has been pushing for me to get vaccinated for months, but I’m 18 and my mom has been on my side this whole time so he has basically been all bluster. However, now he’s gone full tilt into rage mode that I won’t do what he thinks is “best for the family.” He has moved all of my stuff from around the house into my bedroom and is telling me that “I wanted to give you the choice but you are getting vaccinated by Friday.” I’m holding firm but I just wanted to share another story about how these deranged psychos will tear everything apart for their narrative.

When did lying ever start to be condoned to family members in the American mindset? There simply is NEVER any reason to lie to loved ones. Silence is an option too. One does not have to give a response.
Jr. Has an ally in mom. Both can even urge dad to go see a counselor, maybe even a marriage counselor. Mom can request what the going rate for child support is and alimony. And yes, child support is often included until college is completed. Believe me, when mom and Jr. lay these cards out, dad will change his tune.
There are only 'two' examples of many options. Lying is an act of desperation when the belief is that there are no other options. I'm suggesting there are plenty of options. I provide one example. There are many, many more. To lie is to teach it is the only option. What kind of world is that. It kind of looks more and more like its part of the new normal, no?
