re: #136 NO SMOCKING GUN!

Called my wingnut brother to wish him a happy birthday. He got very angry with me because I didn’t agree with his covid-19 views, so now I’m dead to him, just like my mother and his daughter. So it seems likely his birthday was the last time I’ll ever talk to him, because I’m done trying.

So sorry to hear this. I have a wingnut sister that I text now and then because I can’t have a real-time conversation with her any more. Is there any chance that you could text your brother on days where you just want to send a quick message? He doesn’t need to reply if he wants to stay pissed, and you can end the conversation (and delete) if he wants to be hostile. I’m not saying that you have to keep trying (sometimes it’s best to quit), but it’s a way for you to do it one way if you feel like it.

Maybe mail him a b-day card next year. He can do whatever he wants with the card, but you made your feelings known.
