Thank goodness your Father doesn't live in a battleground state where he could do true damage with that TDA vote. And congratulations on your healthy baby boy.

Agreed.

Time to plant some roots and start your own nuclear family. How exciting for you and your wife!

With distance it is easier to do things like send cards/gifts on holidays instead of visit or call which minimizes your frustration. The reduction in contact will make your life more peaceful. I do this with my mother - she is so brainwashed by CNN and MSNBC, not a rational thought lives in her head regarding politics. She exudes crazy whenever the topic comes up. Build your new life the way you want it and don't look back!
