I came from your most recent reading and when you said, “substack” it was my final confirmation. I have been writing on here for a couple months now and I recently started a paper I initially only wanted to give to my parents, discussing my core beliefs and how my views are so unaligned with theres to the point associating with them becomes draining and grating. We have had verbal discussions over our disagreements and now I want to set a boundary with them in written form, because I find it has always been the best means for me to articulate myself. If they can not even attempt to be open-minded or see another perspective (after I give a bunch of examples on things I consider very serious), I will leave and cut contact. I am not telling them they need to change all of their beliefs, but to at-least try and see things from my view. They have previously disregarded my vulnerability and passion for certain things, and this is me finally drawing the line in the sand. If they can’t talk me seriously, then I know they are not the people I need to be around.
