I was the crazy person in my family, still am, but things have cooled off! Some distance and not talking politics much has improved our relationship. Then you play the waiting game and watch your seeds of doubts grow as they realize you have been right about many things. No need to push it further. Sometimes it's better to bite your tongue with your family and let them discover the truth at their own pace. It's inevitable at this point.

Be of good cheer, fren. Q IS BACK!!

Don't say you hate them. I think it's more that you hate the behaviour. Stay strong, they may need you soon.

You've done all you can do; perhaps offer to help while they are sick,(leave chicken soup on the doorstep) say nothing ... just be loving and leave as soon as you can. You are the sane one. Many of us have had such losses and to rebuild with new and healthy people.

hello new family

You will be their way out of the confusion when it comes and it’s here fren. You will be their guide and we’ll be here to help. You’re not alone

I'm a nurse who was asked to come into work d/t those nurses who were vaccinated testing positive for C! The nurse I was filling in for said she needed her 2nd booster before she would come in, bc she didn't feel safe! I said I wasn't vaccinated, if it was that important ....why should I come in? Lol (I came in, she was later fired!)

You ARE NOT CRAZY! You are alive and well, with much support here!

I'm right there with you. Sucks. But here's what I did.

1.) Got a really good study bible. 2.) Started praying multiple times a day. 3.) Got a Sega Genesis 4.) Started playing a few times a week ( Responsibilities permitting of course.) 5.) Realized I'm responsible and accountable to and for myself.

Don't cast your pearls in swine. Love them. Pray for them. Move on. It's not easy. It's not fun. However, keep your mind sharp and your spirit clean. Be genuinely happy. Things may suck but life is still too good to be hampered by trivial matters both literal and perceived.

I think to myself "They nailed Jesus to a cross for telling the truth, I have nothing to complain about compared to that"

Then carry on telling the truth - all the way if necessary

For now? Pray and get some sleep if you need it.

WWG1WGA. Bless you.

But you are “our” crazy guy We love you fren

One of the hardest things for me to learn and to accept and stop worrying about is this --- we all want to live our own lives and make our own decisions. And that includes them. So boneheaded as those decisions may be, it's their choice to make them. Yes, it's very lonely. Good thing you have us and this place. But keep reminding yourself that you are your own man and just like you, they want to be their own men and women. It might help. I hope it does. It helped me.

Remember Jesus' words, "Father, forgive them, for they know no what they do."

Their vaxx addled brains are not functioning correctly.

Matthew 7:13-14

13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

So, i will share with you. My HS friends of many years dropped me from the group. Why, because of vaxx. It seems it's a need to prove that they were right. Now that they made the mistake they can't accept the consequences. Remember our society has shifted to one of its always someone else's fault. Not theirs. They are desperate to be right and lash out at you for being safe from the clot shot. It turns to anger and they need someone, anyone to be at fault. So when they look at themselves in the mirror they see who's really at fault. You either face it or continue to lie to yourself. Stay strong, we here had each other to help us navigate this time.

Even though they don’t respect your position, you can take the high road and respect that they also have the right to make a choice - albeit we believe it to be the wrong one. Be kind, forgive, move on. It’s painful, I know, and every once in awhile I digress and feel bad for the friends I’ve lost and the family I will lose because they’ve chosen to close their eyes. But that’s their right. I will live as I believe God wants me to. They don’t answer to me - only, as we all do, they answer to Him.

Don't bother warning them or trying tp red pill them. They had their chance and chose to remain in ignorance. Think of them as mentally challenged (because they are). Show them as civility but nothing more.

I just stopped talking about it to my family. I did beg them not to get the vaccine, but otherwise we don't talk about politics, covid, etc. I pray for them though!

Lots of us out here, fren. Nothing stays the same though. Hang on.

A wise man once said "If your family is shit go start a new one".

I'm special and caught pneumonia in the summer when I was a kid. 🤷‍♀️ People have been isolated for so long, if they finally start going out in public, they're going to get sick.

My advice for what it's worth is either make it a rule to not discuss politics and try to get along. Or distance yourself, but don't cut them off completely. They might never admit they were wrong, and might some day accept you. They might be too prideful to reach out to you first.

But it's not right for them to treat you like shit, either.

Right there with ya brother. You're not the only one alienated. I've been laughed at and mocked for years now

You can't tell them, they must be shown. They have to figure it out. My advice, dont talk about this stuff with them. Thwy will fight against the truth b/c they dont want to admit you were right. Dont make them admit it, let them quietly figure it out.

It isnt about us being right it is about them waking up.

I am writing this for myself as much as for you. We dont need the moment of retribution, we need to be content in the truth.

Basically they set you free from family burdens, now it’s you time to focus on yourself to grow and create your own circle of friends and family who you can trust. It’s not over for you just a new beginning.

You would be surprised what all can happen in your life now.

You are the crazy one, crazy about spreading the truth, and for damn good reason. I have been there at times with my family, so I just quit going too hardcore with them, and took a more gentler approach with them, just asking specific questions at the right times. Patience is good to have with family. But in the end, family is all you have in this world, and I would stress that to them too. Put a visible sense of importance in your family. You can do it! Save your family anon. With Grace, and Jesus is in the business of Saving too, so you could always turn toward The LORD if you have not already. GOD can move mountains, we can be the seeds.

CS Lewis in several of the Narnia books shows characters who will not see the truth no matter what. In the first book, the hero's uncle will not believe that there is anything special about Aslan and only ever sees a wild roaring lion. In other words, they shut themselves out of the truth so hard they can't see even God in front of them. You cannot hear that burden more than you have. None of the prophets were ever fully heard.

Pray, read the Bible. Calm slow breaths. Physical fitness activity to stay busy.

You are loved, always. Jesus will always be there.

Love and God bless

Same. I come from a very small family - no siblings, almost no extended fam. My parents only communicate w/ me if I initiate and via email only. My only close fam was my 1st cousin, he hasn't spoken to me since Trump was elected. It's me, my wife and my kids. I will not waiver.

People, in general, don’t like it when you point out their faults. Whether they are conspiracy theories or not. They are your family… They made a decision… Accept that. Sometimes they’re more important things than being right. The right to be right, sometimes can destroy families and relationships. You may know what you know, but he’s trying to shove that down somebody’s throat more important than relationships that you have with them? Only you can answer that.

Same here. My dad has been in the hospital three times since getting the clot shot. Feeling that way is natural. It will likely pass in time.

Being shunned by friends and family isn't easy. But if you withstood the pressure to get vaxxed, you're a strong person. Give yourself some credit for making the right decision for your heath and go about your business. Don't argue with them or try to prove your point. They made their decision and you made yours.

You are on the road less travelled. You seek the approval of God not man. Loneliness is your lot. It's a badge of honour. It may be that only God sees it. That's a good thing.

Just laugh at them.
