She can’t understand why I support Trump. She said I’m not poor, stupid or a hillbilly and she didn’t raise me to be a racist. And she gets enraged when I try to explain my reasons to her and starts yelling or hangs up the phone. Hopefully we don’t have to discuss politics 🙏

You’re a better person then me . I’m a Jesus loving Christian , So I don’t hold unforgiveness or resentment against anyone, which has made me a calm peaceful happy person , but at the same time , I’m at a place in my life where I don’t care if you’re my mother, brother, sister or neighbor I can’t be around anyone toxic like that! Staying away enables me to keep my peaceful life ! I mean theres a big difference between someone who says “ I’m not a trump fan or I’m a democrat “ then someone who makes statements like your mom . Continue to pray for that demonic stronghold to be broken over her life . You’re a kind and loving son/ daughter ? Therefore I pray for freedom over her mind so you can have the relationship you deserve !
I am in the same place as you, fren. My mother's disparate treatment of myself, my siblings and the grandchildren was enough for me to cut her out of my life over a decade ago. My sister and her husband cut US out their lives three years ago because we refused to get the shots. I try my best to get along with everyone...and pray daily to make the right decisions...but I'm done enabling and accepting toxic behavior in my life.
GOOD for YOU ! I’m done trying to get people to understand this simple truth ,, it doesn’t matter that she’s your mother , “would you accept or put up with this toxic and unhealthy treatment If she wasn’t your mum ?” Not talking about harboring resentment. We must forgive and pursue health for our own sake . You chose freedom and because of this decision you are able to heal , proud to know another survivor ,, im with you Fren !
TY for those kind and encouraging words. I do pray for forgiveness...and pray for increasing empathy TO forgive...but some folks, including close relatives aren't willing to meet me even part of the way. No more.
I wish we lived close , kindred spirits ! Stay away from those who harm your heart and mind , regardless of who they are . You’ll never find complete peace and happiness if you don’t . Do not under any circumstances feel quilty , it is them who are the abusers and you must have the wherewithal to stay away ! Keep me close ;)
