Hello folks. You guys know me but I'm here anonymously today because I mostly need to vent about the severe TDS my adult daughter has. I will be calling her Sparky for reasons. For background info, she has a diagnosed personality disorder that makes her very susceptible to being influenced by groups. She spent the majority of her teenage years online talking to the wide range of well, seriously messed up people, online. I was single and had to work to support us so she spent her afternoons online at home. She is brilliant. She passed her SATs without even studying and received a near perfect score. But she lacks the common sense God gave a brick. Her mental issues began to materialize in her teen years and it was tumultuous for us both. At any rate, she is a functioning adult now, in a great career and she is going to therapy on a regular basis. All that said...

In 2016 she practically disowned me because I voted for Trump. Not just me but all her family except her grandparents who pretty much just give in to her every whim, as grandparents are want to do. At Christmas last year I happened to be in the bathroom of my mother's room with my other daughter and Sparky didn't know I was in there. I overheard her telling her grandmother that once grandmother and grandfather died she probably wouldn't have anything else to do with this family. I poked my head around the corner to let her know I was in there and heard that.

Fast forward to throughout this year and now. I've remained in touch with her because she is my kid. I'm her parent. I will not walk away from my family. I've visited her a few times this year, took her out to eat for her bday, just continued to be in her life. Yesterday we got together because I was going to her town for shopping and I wanted to stop by to visit. Here's what prompted today's post.

In the course of our visit we were just having casual conversation and talking about her illness, treatments, etc. Talking about our shared history and shared problems. She says she is still trying to decide how she plans to proceedwith her family and what kind of relationship she wants to have with us. I asked what do you mean. She said it depends on what happens next year. I said, do you mean if Trump is re-elected? she said yes. She said she cannot, in good conscience continue to have relationships with people who support such an evil person.

I calmly asked her to please explain to me how her life or the life of anyone she knows has gotten worse since he became President. Her life has gotten better, however, they were not able to hire a certain person at work because the H1B1 visa program changed. I replied, yes, now an American gets that job. Americans need jobs too. She did not even know that person. He was in India. She got quiet. She said Trump's a criminal, he's on tape admitting it. I asked what crime he committed. She pulls up the infamous pussy grabbing recording to which I said the key words there are "they let him do it". She called it assault. I said not when you let a guy grab you. They let him do it. They liked it.

By now she's in tears. She is saying he's impeached and I said no, he's not until the majority speaker sends the articles to the senate which they haven't done yet for some reason. Sparky says, yeah, because the senate is going to automatically throw it out. There was some discussion where she claimed that Trump was bribing Ukraine and threatening them and I told her no. I read the transcript, he did not threaten them but Joe Biden is on video admitting he did. I can show you the video if you want.

By then she was about to have a break down. I could tell she was doing all she could to not start screaming at me and I said, let's please not talk about this anymore. I just want to tell you that I think it's sad that you would walk away from your whole family because of who we vote to be President which is every American citizen's right to do. It's a sad, sad day.

I'm angry at democrats, media and the other institutions that have brainwashed my daughter to this point. It is an absolutely disgusting thing that has happened. I pray they get their just rewards but I fear their indoctrination has taken my daughter away from me forever because I will not be emotionally blackmailed into giving up one of my most fundamental rights.

Comments, advice or just memes to make me laugh are welcome and encouraged.
