I was thinking the same thing as well—there’s a pretty wide gap between I’ve realized my parents are bigoted and they ruin any encounter we have with them/are nothing but toxic.

As someone who hasn’t spoken to my father in 8 years, not out of any anger or fallout but just because we are two entirely different people, families are not permanent. They’re just a loose agreement that genetics mean something socially.
