In the words of Ken Kesey: "Just say 'fuck it' and walk away."

Happened to me twenty years ago. Dysfunctional families are dysfunctional. If you're in one, get out and stay out.

Pull a K-Mac and plop a thick binder printout of it on the table.

Get married and have kids. Tell parents you'll agree to bring their grandchildren to future Thanksgivings with them if your sis promises to be civil.

That’s too mature. Have the grandkids and tell the parents they’re only allowed to see them if lezbo is no longer allowed at family gatherings. Rub their noses in it.

Hell, just have kids and don't even tell your parents that they have grandchildren. Let them find out on their own 10 years later.

This is the best answer. This stabs them in the heart.

Don't give them the satisfaction of SWAT-ing their house (whatever that would involve). Any extended family, friends? Don't be shy, ask for an invite. Bring a fab dish. Find a church packing meals for needy families, find a soup kitchen. Have a fun, different, enjoyable , meaningful holiday.

At some point people need to admit that it’s not worth it to cater to asshole relatives. They clearly don’t care about the girl (or guy?) posting, so why jump through hoops for them?

Is she a lesbian or paranoid? Trump supported a lesbian beauty contestant. The girl that Rosie O Donnell called a "slut" she was caught kissing another girl. U know that's the real reason U'gly O'Donnell was angry.

Find a good non-denominational church and start going there regularly. After a few weeks, join one of their “small groups” which are usually not overly religious but nonetheless foster a space where folks set aside the bs of their ego for an hour and talk real with each other. If you do this for a while, you’ll soon have a set of genuine relationships and perhaps a couple good friends. Don’t rush it but have faith in the plan. Give it 10 weeks before assessing. You’ll likely be glad.

Why non-denominational?

All are good, generally speaking, but the non denominationals have less of the “fire and brimstone” stuff that could get in the way if you don’t subscribe to those beliefs already. All the denominations are good, it’s just about finding a place to start.

This is a good idea. My small group functions this way. Takes time and patience but can have a great payoff.

Next year they will be begging you to come over when they realise you (and the D) were right. Ask to have a second TG with just you and your parents and take them somewhere nice. Then gently red-pill them.

Tell your parents to come to your house afterword, and to bring dessert, and if they dont youll never forget it. Don't forget to spike the punch with everclear or 151.

The word “safe” has been so perverted.

Banishment as corrective action is an old, effective punishment.

What do you do? Well you don’t swat them for starters.
