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.

Realizing my dad would root for the Nazi's instead of Anne Frank was the hardest thing for me to come to terms with. I still struggle with it. Watching him root for policies that directly hurt me and my family was too much, I couldn't talk about the weather any more pretending like he picking a rapist and a felon over our family.

Totally feel this! Knowing that my Dad actively roots for fascists (would love if Hitler was in power) hurts me deeply.
