I had a similar relationship with my mother. Political opposites, plus mental illness, yada yada yada. When I came home from college she told me she was done with me and I haven’t seen her in over a decade. It was incredibly hard for me at the time, I was a teenager, but in retrospect it was the best thing she could have done. We were only capable of hurting each other. I don’t believe you owe someone your time because you’re related. I know it’s not a popular opinion, and it wouldn’t have been my choice, but it worked out well long term for my mental health.
