9. Why do this to yourself

both emotionally and financially.

You don't HAVE to have a conflict with them over politics.

You can choose to let it roll off you. You can choose to ignore it.

If you cannot change them and you cannot 'win' (whatever that might be), why continue an argument ?

Let them say what they will. It doesn't have to affect you if you choose to not let it.

Try the Serenity Prayer, part:

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
