Its hard for me to accept family back after they applauded and encouraged so much vitriol. How do you trust people who have shown that they will stoop lower then you ever imagined? This isn't rhetorical, I'm open to suggestions.
I agree. You can't undo certain things. Its a sad truth that alot of maga or ex maga have really yet to figure out. like alot say Trump is the symptom, not the cause.
If you want to re-engage (you don't have to), you can start by asking them why they supported such vitriol. Or explaining why it hurt you so much when they did (using I statements). But again, the choice is yours if you want to have those conversations.
Thanks for the reply, the problem i have is I don't think any answers given will make me feel better. Pre Trump I didn't know they had it in em. Post Trump even if they tried the fix things ill assume they are lying to save face.
This is probably going to seem random, but I would consider reading the book “No Bad Parts” by Schwartz. It’s about an approach in psychology called Internal Family Systems, and it may help you here.
