I've lost no one to Covid, but at least 3 close friends of 30+ years because of my anti-vax stance and my support of Trump. Fortunately my family and in-laws are all staunch conservatives that share my views, so I am fortunate to not have any family schisms.
Who have you lost over this stupid war of disinformation?
My daughter.
Im so sorry for your loss. That is heart wrenching.
Yes it is she’s an insufferable, 30 year old college graduate, who’s been indoctrinated and brainwashed. She refuses to talk to me at all. I will not be seeing her for Thanksgiving Christmas New Year’s or her birthday which was in November. To be perfectly honest, I’m over it. She was raised Christian and one day she’ll come back around. But until then her toxicity isn’t even worth being around her. When I try to do anything for her she claims I am inserting myself into her life, and that she doesn’t feel safe around me.
I prayed about it, and the Lord showed me this. He said the reason she doesn’t feel safe around me, it’s because I have the light of Christ in my life. I speak truth to her, and that messes with her cognitive dissonance! The Lord told me just to continue to be a light, and to speak truth. It’s those truths that are making her uncomfortable not me personally.
After I came to that epiphany, I was feeling pretty good about myself.!
In a year or so it will be uncool to be a democrat/liberal. It already is uncool, but in a year it will be even more uncool
I never thought about that. Yeah pretty soon it’s going to be totally uncool to be a Democrat
God bless you. He won’t let her go, you know that. My son is an alcoholic and has bipolar disorder. He was raised to believe as well - I’ve trusted Jesus since I was 13 yrs old - but my son says he doesn’t believe in God anymore. I know God is preparing to reveal Himself to all very soon, so I keep praying He will reveal Himself to my son and heal his addiction. I’ve been praying for a long time, but this as-of-yet unanswered prayer has strengthened my Faith more than if He’d answered right away. He continues to keep my son safe from his his destructive patterns, and that’s an answer right there. God hears our cries, but our timing is seldom in line with His. I trust His bigger picture and I think that’s what helps me be patient about this Plan we’re here about.
Yeah my daughter got some mental issues as well. I will pray for your son that he will come around. It’s been difficult but at the same time I’m just done with it all. It’s better that I don’t see her because she’s just such a broken individual. Only God can fix her, and I need to get out of the way so he can do his job. Thank you for sharing your story, I’m sure there are many of us. God bless you and happy Thanksgiving
