91. Sorry about your family |

I am notorious for non-violent dissent surrounding forest defense and urban tree defense (locally). My Mother died two years ago and was cold to the end about the "black sheep liberal" in her family.
She was a life long conservative - and smoker - who died of cancer at age 67.
Needless to say, I had to be patient at her funeral with family members who wanted me to know what a "loser" my political efficacy made me.
Have strength, if others give blame out of their ignorance, look past it. It ain't worth losing sleep over, and what happened happened, and what will happen will happen.
Your political beliefs are important, if others use family crisis to try to rock them, tell them to budget their time better, and that now is not the time or place.
I survived my family's emotional sabotage and land mines, and yo can too. Good luck.
