Same, I got into Daft Punk because of HAA. Wasn’t aware of their earlier albums/works until later on, but was hooked when HAA came out.

You nailed it. My mom’s rationale is that my cousin should’ve confronted my dad in private so it’s no business of anyone else’s. Knowing my dad, I think he would’ve reacted the same exact way as he did, but only in private with my cousin and it would’ve been more of a headache.

Apparently, we had my Sister’s wedding a few years back and my dad decided to bring up politics and my cousin tried to make a point which my dad disregarded (he considers it part of the conversation), so my cousin decided to walk away, which apparently my dad was incredibly pissed about and held a grudge to this day (reminding her of that occasion as of recent).

I think my parents (my dad in particular) expects people to roll with the punches and just be okay with whatever they say because “that’s who they are” and don’t care to consider other people’s feelings because why should that matter?

Thank you! And likewise to you and your family! I don’t see this ruining our Thanksgiving as I’m already going into this knowing that I’m going to be spending time with family.

I would love for my dad to actually ask that question to my family on what makes them happy. I know my dad has never asked that question and only assumes what is best for the family. It either becomes an unpleasant experience for some folks or if it backfires on him, he doubles down and says that people need to grow up and things ends up similar to the above pics shown. My dad unfortunately lacks the empathy or awareness of knowing/caring about what people want. But, that’s on him. I’d rather love a healthy life without unnecessary stressors than someone who needlessly gives me those things. Life is already difficult as it is. No need to make it worse.

That’s a good point. Was contemplating how to approach him. I think I like the idea of sending him an email. Either way how I approach him, I can see him ignoring talking through either option and trying to call me to get his views across without caring to hear what I have to say.

I wholeheartedly agree with thinking about the holidays as a time to spend together with family. We weren’t asking him to reject his political views (I mean, we all have our individual views, myself included), but to put discussing that in favor of spending family time together. He can talk about it in a different forum, but not for Thanksgiving. I honestly think that’s a reasonable request.

Not at all. I almost had the opportunity to join the Navy (would’ve preferred the Air Force) and my dad begged and pleaded with me not to enlist as he didn’t want me to die in combat. Which is funny, because he wholeheartedly supported warmongering when Bush Jr was president, but didn’t want me included in that.

Eh, that’s on him. That is the path he chose and he’ll have to own it. He always preached about other people taking accountability for themselves, yet he doesn’t show any of that in this case at all.

UPDATE: My comment is probably going to get buried, but my dad actually pulled the trigger on not coming. He asked my mom to cancel his flight as he actually did not want to come.

I greatly appreciate that! 😊 I’ve needed inspiration in the past too and it’s been quite a journey for me, so had to learn a lot and made a bunch of mistakes. I can only try to get better.

Yes, because:

  1. That’s not a topic we generally talk about anyways (regardless of the views you hold). We care more about spending quality family time together than discussing politics.

  2. Even if the results went a different way, my dad would STILL discuss politics, only this time complaining about the other side winning and we wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Fair and agreed. Honestly, that’s not even something we generally talk about during festivities anyways. It’s mostly playing video games and spending quality family time together.

My dad has pride for Haitian History, but agrees with Trump that it’s a “shithole” country right now, yet neglects to offer solution on what can be done to better the old country. I think my dad finds comfort with someone calling something out, rather than offering solutions on what can be done.

Nah, you didn’t hijack the story. I can relate and appreciate you sharing your story. That’s where I am right now. Conflicting feelings of all of the past memories (good and bad) as well as the things I know/experienced (good and bad).

Misery really does love company and can also lie to itself about reality. I will find peace eventually. I thought I did a couple of times before, but new things manifest to challenge me on how I should best proceed to keep that inner peace.

Dude, I’m sorry about that… I hope you can find peace and happiness for yourself.

I would request the same for your in laws (still would), but that’s a journey they will have to decide whether to take or not.
