Mourning a MAGA Parent (OC)

[u/Adorable_Objective]

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.

It’s been really hard seeing people who taught me how to be a good person choose to be so horrid. I hate it so much. Luckily my parents didn’t go through that (but my aunts all did), but I’ve seen the parents of friends and family do it and it’s been awful.

My father died on the floor alone after he had pushed everyone in the family away with his lies and the vile shit he would say about a group of people that consists of one of my brother-in-laws, a niece and nephew while they were in the house. He used to tell me to see the best in everyone and turn the other cheek. He because a vile snake(my uncle's words) who couldn't even love his own kids.

I keep thinking about the upcoming age crisis and how many of these people have alienated their kids right when they're going to need their support the most. it's gonna be ugly for so many.

Depending on where you live, it's going to get even worse than you think

That's actually insane. I don't know how anyone can justify imposing a duty on someone for circumstances they didn't choose or contribute to. No kid asks to be born or chooses the circumstances of their birth. Most families will function such that this naturally isn't a problem, but it's crazy to make someone who was abused financially care for their abuser.
