Reply #82: Politics and religion are core issues -- strange to see DUers saying [View All]

"Oh, don't break ties with your parents over politics!"

Some situations are intolerable. Mine was, too, and I don't regret breaking off contact as much as I regret the years I tolerated their narrow-mindedness and emotional game-playing. You seem to be in a situation very similiar to mine and I predict you'll be glad to have the constant ittitation removed from your life. It won't be easy but it will probably be easier than staying in contact with them. Good luck to you and the family that you and your wife have made. ( I lived with my parents less than twenty years, have already lived with my husband nearly thirty-eight years, who's my real family?) ;-)
