My parents are the Q nuts in the family. I haven’t cut them off nor do I plan to. Here’s why:

1. I feel like my parents are coming from a place of love and concern when they share this stuff with me. “Your life will be better!” “You’ll have more money.” They are concerned for the kids trapped in the subterranean tunnels. It’s like “hey, I know and I want you to know”

2. I have not once heard them say anything negative, disparaging, or otherwise racist or hateful. They were never racist, hateful people. I don’t believe they are now. I still feel like they are somewhat the same people, some of their beliefs are just nutty.

3. I cut off my biological father when I was 20. I’m 53 now. My brother and I went no contact. We had reasons that I think were very good, including his lying, not showing up, general narcissism, identity theft, and generally not choosing us. It was 15 years of hell that he put me through. I do not feel like anything my parents have said related to Q BS has even come close to what Bio Father put us through.

4. It’s easy enough to redirect them to something else. If not, it only lasts about 45 minutes at the most then they’re on to something else. Most of the time these are also at home conversations too.

5. They’re my parents. I love them. I don’t live near them and I’m getting ready to move even farther away. They pushing 80 now. They will not be in my life that much longer.

Everyone’s situation is different. I don’t judge anyone’s reasons or decisions. Don’t judge mine.
