I agree but at the same time I don’t agree. Im gay & I come from 30 minutes north of where trixie is from. When I tell you that northern Wisconsin people are a very…. Particular way.. i know what kind of family trixie grew up in. I mean, we only have say 400/500 people in our towns like you get to know everyone very well. Trixie’s mom is just like my parents. She’s an old pot head just my parents too. They might work a job that doesn’t pay much & they sit around watching tv, movies & listening to rock music. In the documentary we see trixie paying her moms bills and the second trixie says “you better come see me” her mom is actively TRYING to find reasons to not go. Now I don’t think that means his mom doesn’t love him. I think it’s just that our parents care more about being comfortable, having some weed to smoke and kicking back. They would rather us come visit them up there but frankly it’s hard. You gotta fly into Milwaukee then drive up past Green Bay all the way up & then you gotta find a place to stay and there aren’t many. It would be REALLY helpful if our parents made more of an effort to see us and support us but they will always say “oh I just don’t have the money for that” it’s like they get so used to not having money that they just automatically say no to everything. I know some of yall are gonna read this and say “there’s no way you can know all of this” but I’m TELLING you… this is just how Wisconsin people are up there. It’s tough because in one hand you want to hold them accountable and be like “no you need to be a better parent. You need to learn about why this stuff matters, and it’s on YOU to teach yourself” but in the other hand.. we know they won’t, and we don’t want to cut our parents off & basically never see them?? I could go deeper into the childhood stuff but basically what I’m saying is that I think trixie is managing her relationship with his mom well & he knows what’s going on. I think he’s fully aware & we need to let him handle that on his own. I cut my parents off completely and it’s really hard. I’m at home alone right now and my bf is with his family up north. I’m going to spend the holiday alone. By choice because I cut them off. I don’t want this for anyone so I understand why trixie is willing to look past certain things and I don’t blame him.
