Dreading Post-Election Thanksgiving?
It's the family that has been seeing your Facebook posts throughout the election but hasn't had an opportunity to talk to you about it. It's the family you so rarely see - by design. It's the family you'll spend Thanksgiving with again this year. How do we survive hearing from your crazy uncle and his never-ending political agenda?
Real story:
19-year old Sarah-Jane had made plans to be with her family at Thanksgiving. Knowing that her facebook posts about the election were rubbing her family the wrong way, Sarah-Jane’s mom called to ask if she had planned to be disrespectful to the family. Sarah-Jane said it could work either way “if the things I am saying are disrespectful to Trump supporters, the things they are saying are also disrespectful to me.”
Sarah-Jane’s mom uninvited her daughter to Thanksgiving dinner.
Many aren’t as “lucky” as Sarah-Jane and have to go through the discussion.
What are you dreading facing this Thanksgiving with the family and extended family?
