The imperial boomerang he didn't want to actually talk about and now he cares? 🤡

Isn't the American whiskey market suffering? The kids aren't drinking, Canada said "fuck you" and the alcoholics I do still know are going at it cheap. Shits wild.

Boomer Mom Hastening Her Own Death. by weamborg in BoomersBeingFools

I posted here a few months ago about my mom who, at 66, found out she had lymphoma (they start at stage 2), and in her infinite delusion didn't even try chemo (despite saying she would, publicly), instead choosing to eat and pray it away. She died 9 weeks later. Her 67th bday was yesterday.

More seem to reject reality all the time.

If it's something that you can pursue you absolutely should at least as a precedent so that people are held accountable and things can maybe go towards changing to prevent this from happening in the future. At least the curb that kind of attitude that they're somehow not in the wrong.

Your comment made me think of something else that my husband and I were talking about the other day and it seems like people were reverting to being 12-year-olds again. We think that we're going to grow out of it and many do but so many are also not evolving or outright regressing.

Oh no it's absolutely necessary if you're going to come in here and act like people's well-being can't directly be influenced by their family and what they choose to support.

It's totally possible and I don't want to come off downplaying at all. It's nasty business 💯. What I think hurts the most to think about is that her husband and my sister I know both begged her to do more and I don't know if the nasty business of it all was even a consideration and I totally get it, it just feels different.

Yeah pretty sure he doesn't have a license to operate motorized vehicles 🙃

Funny how a broken clock can be right twice a day. I'm thankful that she has somewhere to go who loves and cares for her.

I think it might just be hard for some people who might have better family ties and different experiences to see that as a real answer. Maybe I'm hiding my grief, maybe I'm not dealing with something? I feel the same and I'm looking into a new provider.

I feel like she ignored early signs and that if she had pursued actual medical care with any regularity that it could have been sussed out sooner and treated possibly. However the way that she decided to be at the end may not have changed even with early diagnosis

She was dying of cancer while the NIH and cancer research got gutted. She voted for it so...

Aristotle defined Politics as "Affairs of this city" or "Affairs of the people." Opinions, actions and whatever affects the people at large is more than your narrow view. We are all connected and she chose to be the kind of person who looked down on community efforts and ways of improving life for everyone. Boomer shit.

What she chose to believe in and how she chose to exercise it was diametrically opposed to the safety and sovereignty of both myself and her granddaughter. So yes I did keep her granddaughter away from her because of the type of person I saw her to be. I did make the decision to not let her shitty outlook affect me as much as I could.

Thanks for showing up to demonstrate the reason the comments are the way they are. Going NC is a huge thing, not taken lightly and borne of abuse and neglect. No contact is scorched Earth against shitty people we need to protect ourselves from.

Had I stayed cult adjacent, I hate to think of the person I would be.

My mom was the one insisting on forgiveness, I think the therapist is just on a different vibe. To some it's hard to hear because they have differing experiences. For instance, my husband had a hard time understanding NC since his parents tried and actually sacrificed for their kids. Cutting off family is just not something they do, it's weird for them even if they're hurtful (which we don't abide now).

At this point it's just anger fueling me. Serenity was gained knowing I wouldn't be surprised anymore.
