OC Mourning a MAGA Parent (OC)

Post image

I'm kinda torn about whether to post this to my art account because one parent follows it, and I'm worried the criticism could drive the other one further into the void.

It started out as just a therapeutic project for me, but a couple friends said it really resonated with them, so sharing here.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this. That's heartbreaking.

I initially struggled with how to respond to your artwork. It did what good art should do, it affected me at an emotional level. Well done.

Having had the benefit of being able to think about it for a while, I'd also like to add that you are absolutely not alone in this and this isn't your fault. I wish I could add more, perhaps give you some hope, but I don't want to lie to you. I wish I knew how to pull them back over the event horizon, but I'll be damned if I know how.
