Reply #78: I'm right there with you

[Generic Brad]

The first time my mother told me I was going to fry in hell forever was after the attacks on 9/11. She said the attack happened because liberals like me were tolerating gays and voting for baby killers. I firmly told her that if she ever had the gall to speak like that to me again, it would be the last time she ever saw me.

She toned it down and kept her opinions to herself for quite a while. But that was really the day our relationship broke for good. For the sake of my daughter I kept our relationship going. Then Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Again I was told I was going to roast in hell for marrying my wife, leaving the church and voting for baby killers. Then she finished that off by telling me that my disappointing behavior was to be expected because I had been weird my entire life. That was the last time I spoke with anyone from my family.

Until I receive an apology that is better than "I'm sorry you're an asshole" I am staying away.
