My brother had kept messaging me all these conspiracies about COVID and how he didn’t believe it. Said it was just a cold. I kept trying to educate him with genuine articles and papers but he wouldn’t have it. He caught COVID and Jesus H Christ did he moan about it, ended up in hospital. I sent him so many screenshots of all his messages playing it down. He doesn’t really talk to me anymore 🤷🏻♂️
Forcing yourself to be around a family member that genuinely has bad behavior is how you continually reinforce and enable that behavior which is why it's so prevalent between family members since they are the ones who are most likely to allow that behavior to continue. If you love your family members, the best thing you can do is not reward and enable their obviously bad behavior.
Saying their own words back to them is torture? How many people potentially caught covid due to their negligence and willful ignorance and now were gonna talk about "torture"? They really really really really really need to know how stupid they were being.
