11. My husband traveled to Boardman Ohio last week

Aug 2023

to assist his 87 year old mother after she suffered a brain bleed and fall. It’s his hometown and a yearly trip usually lasts for seven days and then he gets to make the great escape back to reality. Unfortunately, this trip is keeping him in crazy town way longer than anticipated. All his mom does is sit on the sofa watching FOX and commenting on how criminal the Biden’s are. Even though my husband asked her to respect his request to not discuss politics or religion with him, she seems to be unable or unwilling to respect his request. She’s supposedly a “good Christian,” but she STILL supports Don the traitor trump and it’s clear to us why. Though she admits that she’s racist, she’s not racist in a bad way….she just thinks that “they” would be happier with their own “people.” I asked my husband to not engage her, I told him to restate his requests about not wanting to discuss politics or religion, every time she disrespects what he has asked of her. Also, with the brain bleed, she might be having less control of her mouth, but this is standard practice even in their morning phone call’s when he is here in Palm Springs. My husband and I have been together 30 years and she has never accepted our “kind of love.” You see, our love is “the devil’s lust” and we will answer for our “behavior” on “judgment day.” She never misses an opportunity to tell him, that “God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” Anyway, she sits there getting agreement from FOX about all her hatred’s and biases and that makes her feel good. She feels good that this FOX propaganda enforces her belief that she’s right and her son is wrong. He said to me last night, that he believes that this trip will probably be the last time he sees her alive, so he’s going to be the good son and deal with it. I rarely speak with her, but she did get on the phone to thank me for all the Amazon packages I sent and the giant fruit basket, cookies, muffins and the new Keurig Brew Station and 400 Keurig coffee pods. I noticed she didn’t turn them down because we’re gay. She still thinks if both of us found the “right woman” and went back to church, we could “beat the devil” and take away two of his converts. So basically, the devil has had us in his grip for 30 years and all we have to do is find the right woman and go to church and just like that, we’ve beaten the devil…lol. Sorry this was so long winded, guess I needed to vent, but these people are fanatics and they are convinced that they are right and anyone who doesn’t agree with them, is wrong…..and in many cases, the enemy.
