So weird that you never hear “my right-wing children cut me off because I think gay people deserve rights, so now I’m suing them!”
If that actually happens, the parents have every right to sue them
Should read the comments section. It’s an absolute gold mine for schadenfreude
I can 1000% guarantee they got an explanation, they just didn’t like it and had no interest in addressing it.
“But I just want what’s best for you”
pulls out KKK regalia
That is a steaming hot mess in there alright.
Just checked, they nuked the comments section. 0 listed now. Did anyone think to archive or screenshot any?
Edit: comments are back now, not sure what happened originally
It’s still up for me.
Weird, its up for me now too.
Voting for Trump helped me reduce my holiday food bill. It also helped me clean out my Facebook friends list free of charge. 🇺🇲
😂
I took a brief look at the comment section. Now that is the definition of internet toxicity.
I did get a good laugh at the idiots saying “cut off their inheritance!” The millions that my parents have now in no way, change my mind about contacting them. You couldn’t pay me enough to put up with their bullshit.
I feel like I need to take a shower after reading that
I’m no-communication with my parents for the summer. I love them but they really are deeply dysfunctional and it rubs off on me when I interact with them.

I am no-communication with my parents for 10 years now.
Next time I see them, I plan to do a little jig on their graves.
Lol I literally had this article in my feed yesterday and saw that comment as well n laughed my ass off. I almost commented but didn’t want to give them engagement.
Same. It was tempting to get a jab in, but I know they get more $ that way.
“Experts” in being cut out of your children’s lives? I bet the “experts” aren’t advising people in this situation to reconsider the morality of their stance on the topics and their behavior that led to such a strong response by their children.
I got curious enough to read the article, and the very first number one thing is…
“Before attempting a reconciliation with an estranged parent or adult child, Blake said the first priority should be stabilizing oneself. “What I tend to recommend first is to get that person stable, have healthy habits and build a community,” he advised. “Good mental health practices are really important.””
In other words the very first thing to do if your kids cut you out of their lives is cheer yourself up about it and find community in people who share your political and societal beliefs and may be in the same situation. Of course. That way they can reaffirm their political views, hatred for the gays, and agree that it’s awful that libral commie terrorists have brainwashed the kids.
In other words
every time you use the phrase “in other words”, you need to be really careful if it is still the original message in other words, or if you are trying to spin in to something they did not say so it is easier for you to attack it -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
these poor creatures are often result of having no other people around them, so they fall into some internet rabbit hole full of shit. and in that case, finding real people who can help to ground you in reality, and “stabilize yourself”, eg. get back to real world, is not bad advice.
of course it does not work if you find some similar assholes to pat each other on your back, but that doesn’t necessarily invalidate the advice.
Yes, thank you, I’m sure Fox News has only the best of intentions and wishes for all of their older viewers whose children have cut them off due to their political and social views to reevaluate those views and change for the better.
"What I tend to recommend first is to get that person stable, have healthy habits and build a community. Good mental health practices are really important.
IDGAF who this is coming from, this is actually really solid advice after any relationship breaking up.
Faux News has been the propaganda arm of the Republican party since its inception, so yeah no surprise here.
Snicker. You reap what you sow.
Have you tried not being a racist?

(…) including 16% who were estranged from a parent and 10% from a child.so there is 6% of adults whose child does not talk to them and they did not even notice (or lied in the questionnaire)
