Visiting my Anti-Vax Mother and a Bunch of Other Stuff
@1ForAll Very interesting to draw so many parallels between your life and mine, I agree with much of what you write and experience a lot of the same things you and your wife do. Maybe it’s the same with many people here, I’m still getting used to the forum. Nevertheless, it’s reassuring to know... -

Visiting my Anti-Vax Mother and a Bunch of Other Stuff
@1ForAll Though I have gotten a lot better with it – I think when a situation is emotional for me, I revert to thinking in very black and white ways and it is nearly impossible to convince me of the grey until I have calmed down.

Visiting my Anti-Vax Mother and a Bunch of Other Stuff
I think my mother held back on getting me help despite knowing I needed it, she was always fending for me against the rest of the family, I am the youngest of eight and I got along with next to none of them no matter how hard I tried. I just thought very differently and I didn't understand when... -

Visiting my Anti-Vax Mother and a Bunch of Other Stuff
I'm visiting my parents in April for two weeks. They are very much against most things vaccine-related, with my mother proudly calling herself an Anti-Vaxer. This doesn't bother me much, as they are free to believe whatever they like, but what bothers me is the incessant talking about...
