EVEN *AFTER* HE MADE HIS DEMENTIA INFLICTED WW2 VETERAN GRANDPA CRY ON HIS (PROBABLY) LAST CHRISTMAS DAY EVER, HE’S STILL MAKING IT ABOUT HIM OMG. ME ME ME ME ME. “How do I get him to accept me before he dies?” LEAVE YOUR POOR GRANDFATHER ALONE. APOLOGISE TO HIM AND YOUR PARENTS. FEEL THE SHAME THAT IS OWED FROM THIS SITUATION.
The dementia is the only saving grace in this situation because, with any luck, he will forget this happened altogether.
@HazelAppleyard_ “It was actually the US’ fault Hitler did what he did”
@HazelAppleyard_ He did ruin thanksgiving. I have never seen a more selfish and entitled group of people in my entire life.
@HazelAppleyard_ They were raised differently by parents, schools, pediatric care. This didn't just happen. Cause/effect. Kids need to experience disapproval, loss, failure, and this bunch never did.
My best friend's 16 yo granddaughter identifies as a boy. Last Wednesday, her parents sat her down and told her that at Thanksgiving dinner with the extended family, adults would be calling her by female pronouns and her girl name and she was not to correct them bc Thanksgiving wasn't about her, it was about family. She got through it just fine. Kids can deal with not being the center of the universe if you don't let them be.
Ok, I have a genuine question. Is there a possibility that these type posts are being written so that they're distributed like this to inspire hatred against trans people? If I were asked to write something for that purpose I would have difficulty writing something better than this. Almost every sentence of this is fucking brutal. Sick/dying war hero grandad in nursing home refuses visits form his own children on his last chance to spend the holidays with them? Was this kid born or did he walk out of a lake holding a machete wearing a hockey mask? Jesus.
