There are terrible families out there. Just because it’s family doesn’t mean you have to suffer permanently. Some people have kids for the sake of having them, not caring about their well-being at all. In other words, being a parent doesn’t make you a good parent or person.
I get your point though. Family should be first (IMHO) and even major disagreements shouldn’t be met with ghosting. Sometimes it’s just unbearable, and it’s the only choice unfortunately.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoWell, that's my point. I see people hung on my apparent dismissal of "bad blood", but that wasn't the core of what I meant. I just can't imagine how people can end up in a situation where they'd be actively getting rid of their elders over Christmas[0] by faking or causing illness to them. There's a difference between refusing to visit or care about someone you don't like, and getting them admitted into a hospital to get rid of them for a few days. -- [0] - And May break - a bunch of Polish holidays close together; reportedly the second busiest hospital time, for the same reason.
