Yes, that is a shame. ALL families have their problems, some, more so then others. Life is so precious and too short to squabble; and it's a shame that more families don't realized just how precious family is. It's a shame that some members of families are so petty and jealous that they stir the pot and try to make life miserable for other family members.
That's right. A few years ago, she proposed we try to develop a relationship around what we do agree upon and table the rest... I agreed, and for around two or three years we had a passing and growing relationship. But Tumpy came along and she just could not help herself. Family txting vines turned into nothing but her diatribes... Gigantic e-mails about how stupid and awful I am for being pro-Tump (LOL! ME, pro-Tumpy... No really...). The whole family is one form of conservative or another except her. I mean the whole extended family.
Anyhow, she was reaming on my mom on a family vine, and I just could not take it anymore. My brother is every bit the Conservative I am, and we agree on everything, except that he is far more patient and politic in his argument... Me, I had it. And in my normal style, I stepped in, gave er both barrels, and reloaded. Mercilessly, over and over.
We ain't really talked since.
