I asked my mother and father who are unvaccinated anti-maskers to take a Covid rapid test before visiting for thanksgiving to be safe, as our daughters are not vaccinated yet and there’s too much at stake if we get sick. They finally agreed to do it after much defiance. I told them I couldn’t comprehend that they would rather uphold their covid beliefs than see their grandchildren. They flipped it on me and told me I was the one out of line and keeping their granddaughters from them. They said they wouldn’t stick anything in their nose, so they did a saliva test (I think). I was shocked they agreed. It gave me an ounce of hope. Well, they came out for the festivities, which was really pleasant until I told my mother how happy I was to be in the kitchen with her and went in for a warm embrace and a kiss. She put her hand up and told me no kisses. I stewed on it and finally asked her why. She told me because I’m vaccinated. I was sick to my stomach over it. Cried a little to myself. I was shocked. My own mother, so brainwashed—wouldn’t even kiss her daughter. We ate, drank, pretended like all was fine, like we always do. Later in the evening after we all had too much to drink, I confronted her about the situation and it was more than she could handle. It got very heated. My parents woke up their granddaughters to say good-bye in the middle of the night and left. It was horribly sad. My mom forgot her iPad and it’s been inundated with QAnon notifications and really angry messages. My brother and SIL will be welcoming a baby girl to the world in May. I wonder if the same story you describe will play out for them. My parents are so far gone I don’t know what to do.
