Listen. I've been through some really rough times with this daughter. Especially during 2015. She didn't speak to me for a year because of my support for Trump. It hurt so much, I really felt absolutely devastated that my daughter would just toss me away like that over politics. People kept telling me to be patient with her and just be her mother. And that's what I did. I didn't bring up politics and when she did I changed the subject. She moved earlier this year and I went to help her pack and then went back to help her on moving day. I still called her and took her to dinner for her birthday, sent cards just to say hey. (I'm one of those people that still will send snail mail cards bc I think it matters).
I did all that knowing she said our future relationship depended on what happened in November this year. Because I'm her mother. She can walk away from me over politics if that's what she wants to do but I won't be doing the same.
So yeah, getting that text today brought tears to my eyes. And I'm telling you all this just to say just be mom or dad, whichever applies. Show them the way with your actions.
Crazy that we can get separated from our kids by who we voted for, isn't it. My son has finally accepted that I love our President and will never change my mind, although he tries. He lives in Italy and teaches English at a University there and can out talk me every time. I will never win a point. So I guess all we can be is a Mom and love them. Bless you, keep the faith and KAG
It's a sign of the times. But to be clear, these times come and go, and have reoccurred throughout history. While The Patriot isn't the most historically accurate movie on the Revolution in a lot of ways, it does depict a very real and accurate situation that can arise out of politics (Where Gibson's character and his son [Heath Ledger] are in disagreement, politically, as to whether or not America should go to war. Gibson is just looking out for his son, and having fought in wars himself, is scared to see his son's advocacy for Revolution and desire to fight in it, so Gibson remains a loyalist. Still, he remains a father, first. Though ultimately it's Gibson that comes around, politically, and more motivated by [Spoiler alert if you're really late to the game] vengeance against the Red Coats that killed his kids)
Forgive her. From your description, I can guarantee she is in or has been to college, because that’s where she was brainwashed. That kind of thing is just not normal.
My brother has a similar feeling about Trump. He ranted to me the other day because I played one of the press briefings. I’ve never been able to get him to explain what it is about our President that triggers him so much.
Deep down though, I know what it is. Donald Trump has been sent by God. It’s a spiritual thing. Those who are under the thrall of evil are repulsed by a son of God, just as we are repulsed by the likes of the children of Satan (ex. Nancy Pelosi)
All we can do is pray for them; that they may one day repent, forgive, and see the light.

This alone is reason enough to disown that immature ungreatful little shit. Show some self respect and tell her get her shit together or get lost
