Unfortunately my family decided 2 days before Christmas party that omicron was scary and they were going to want everyone to test before coming in the door. I said no to tests and masks and the whole party fell apart I'm family disunity. It was horrible. They had been acting normal again for a whole year and felt safe in their vaxx status. Fuck fauxi.

Then my closest brother told me his wedding in January would have the same requirements. I had to tell him I couldn't attend. He blew a gasket on me - hurt and asking why I can't just give in for him - don't I love him enough to just wear a mask for an evening?

That fucking hurt. Hurt because ss idiotic as they all are I love them. But this is the first they tried to ostracized me for being different out of unreasoining fear.

I've had others but being the lone voice surrounded by love ones trying to guilt you into submission....
