    My mother moved from Ontario to Alberta a few years back because she said it was the “last place in Canada that respects my freedom”. I probably don’t need to tell you she dove head-first into the barrel of pig shit that is internet conspiracy theories over the course of the pandemic.

    She’s chronically ill with a leukemia that is successfully managed by medication – but it requires regular care from experts or she could have a stroke or heart attack. She was also showing signs of dementia before I had to go zero-contact with her. As much as I don’t wish her harm… I suspect she won’t live long enough to regret her decision for very long.

        Want me to play you the voicemail she left me where she disowned me? Or should I just forward you the eMails where she told me I was a fool who would be dead soon from the COVID vaccine? Or should I tell you about all the crazy and insane bullshit she insisted was fact before screaming at me and hanging up the phone on me?

        Or would that not change your mind because you’re simply a hateful troll?

        I think she was the awful human being, and you didn’t owe your parents shit, especially toxic ones. Just because your parents brought you into the world (without your consent) doesn’t mean you have to put up with them. I say this as someone who has a good relationship with my parents, and have a kid, who I hope will want me in their life when they grow up.
