    Not like I’m any help beyond trying to cool nerves, too volatile to protest and I am reliant on my MAGA grandmother.

    I mean she’s not gonna disown you… right?

      I had an elderly parent threaten to throw me out onto the streets. They had fallen, I called the fire department for help, and asked if they could send personnel the same gender as my parent. Ever since being threatened for trying to be considerate, I haven’t trusted that parent ever since.

      Sure, it might be dementia or something…but I still can’t help but feel that was my parent’s genuine feelings about me.
