Reply #62: Be angry, and argue. Let it out. I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. [View All]

My parents are oil-company Catholic apologists, very anti-gay, anti-choice, and pro-bush. I haven't been able to speak to them about politics or social issues for over ten years, and it's almost impossible to talk to them at all in a time like this.

BUT: you have to forgive your parents.

You just do. Assuming they never abused you, you will never be able to repay your mom for everything she's done for you. Even if she IS an idiot.

I've seen this. If you don't make peace somehow, you'll hate yourself for a very long time. Be angry, but please don't "sever all ties."
