Probably an overshare, but I'm angry
My grandma is too far gone with the religion and political stuff, and I think it's time for me to stonewall her. She lives next door, which will make it a bit hard, but I don't want to put up with her bullshit anymore. During COVID, she got so into religion that she tells us we're going to hell for not believing. All day, everyday, she sits on her butt, watching YouTube videos about religion and people converting to her religion. She has not many friends, only goes to church and the supermarket, likes my aunt's dogs more than she likes her own grandchildren and refuses to put in any effort with my younger cousins because their mother chose to keep in contact with her cheating father after my grandma and him got divorced. She doesn't believe the priests or other clergy members could do anything wrong. Called Kamala a demon and said that she would make the US a communist country. And America will be saved, Trump is Christian yada yada yada. Absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever.she sounds lonely and in need of guidance from someone as intelligent and kind as you
maybe you can share non political yts with her, like nature yts or something . Don't react to her provocations.
Thanks for the suggestion Seagoon :) I sent her some time lapses of plants growing. Hopefully she will like them.
so many hugs, it can be very sad to see this happen to family, it's like they have changed and become lost and relationships become very difficult
