My parents were on opposite ends of the spectrum. I wondered how they could stay together. Hard to live with someone so rabid about some issues and concepts that you can’t talk with them about current events. Sadly I Find myself in somewhat of the same situation. Politics and current events can be difficult to share.

Truth. We watched the Jan 6 insurrection together, on Fox, from the middle of dt’s speech until the end of that awful day. And we didn’t see it the same way. My heart is still broken.

We can’t/don’t watch the news together. Mostly I don’t want to know what he thinks about some things. Our birth siblings are on opposite ends of spectrum. I was oblivious about that when we met. We share a lot of good but I wish we could talk about a lot of these issues. I am grateful for my siblings and friends and HCR who helps me be informed.
