Slop.

I’m fucking tired. I really have to use my free time to find joy and peace. I’m not trying to coddle someone bc they couldn’t keep their dick out of crazy.
The world is on fire and I don’t believe that someone being polite to my face negates that they’d legislate the existence out of other humans. I’m ready for change and I only want to associate with people capable of empathy and compassion. It isn’t even unreasonable.

I'm guessing that their methods will be things like "Make sure your child is heavily indebted to you financially, so they have to remain in touch to pay you back, threaten to sue them if they don't" and "Threaten to report your child to the police for the drugs if they talk about leaving you."

No, and quite frankly I can’t believe you’d ask.

Of course The Epoch Times is reporting on increasing numbers of estranged family members

They're probably directly responsible for many of them

I think everyone's taking this to always be political. It's not always - sometimes it's a personality clash - and I do think our generation can be too quick to cut someone off. But then again, the more you speak to older people the more you realise most families have some major rift in them caused by similar circumstances, and have done going back decades and decades.

I just think we talk a big game about community, but at the same time see our relationships as sort of net positive/negatives. I think the reality is that some people you are bound to clash with, and we need to practice just having slightly more distant relationships rather than cutting someone off - which perhaps doesn't really benefit everyone.

I don't know, personal issue for me, my sister cut my mother off, and while my mum was at points very difficult, they both clearly think about each other all the time. My mum cant get over it, and my sister constantly acts like shes over it but clearly carries a lot of emotion and trauma around the topic. I think they'd both be better off if they just stayed civil. Practice the short interaction rule. I know that I can't spend more than a couple of nights around my mum before I can't really take it anymore, and for my sister it would be okay if that were just a few hours over lunch.

Oh well.

I wish all Epoch Times contributors a very lengthy estrangement from their internal organs

Every chud parent whining abt their kids leaving is just Immortan Joe yelling "MY CHILD! MY PROPERTY!"

Oh, is there some sort of pattern of Epoch Times readers being estranged from their families? How weird.

Let me guess - "parents shouldn't change, the kids should just understand and be more accepting?"

RIP the guy in the picture's hands

"Social media and college and liberal tv shows made my kid gay and now they hate me"

They could stop telling their cult members to cut off contact with their families for a start.
