Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

He thinks everything not supporting his “side” is fake and left-wing propaganda. I dated someone like that, actually. Didn’t go well but they became very leftist.
Your dad is a member of a cult. It's fully possible that he'll never change.
One thing to remember is that you have absolutely no obligation to keep family members in your life. I haven't spoken to my father since Trump won the election.
I’ve not spoken to him since he moved to a hotel
Yeah, it's super important for systems that are irrational or benefit some groups more than others, to discourage education, questioning, and substantive debate; they know they would lose. Most religions are like this.
