context: i am adopted so my parents are white but i’m not. his blatant disregard for pocs, racist remarks, ignorance beliefs about science (im in a stem field) and support of stripping women’s rights is ridiculous. i literally cant have a conversation with him anymore and it’s disrupting my peace so badly. the worst part is that he’s so casual about it like he’s obviously right when he genuinely sounds insane.
he is in complete denial of my career path and keeps trying to get me internships that he thinks are “better” for me. he refuses to acknowledge my relationship with my partner as real bc they’re “not the best for me” when it’s clear he just has prejudices against my partner’s race, religion, and socioeconomic status. he refuses to believe that i was 🍇’d bc i was “actively choosing that”. is in support of defunding education and the sciences (i want to be a professor in the sciences)
you gotta sit down and tell him “either you accept and love me despite our different beliefs and don’t let politics/religion get in the way of our relationship or i don’t think i can continue speaking to you” if he chooses to lose his child over that then that tells u everything u need to know
he actually has told me that his greatest fear is me marrying an atheist and then never speaking to them again and i told him that if that’s how it goes then that’s his decision. i think in his mind if i don’t end up the exact way that he wants me to then it will cause a rift in the family but that just tells me that he’s not willing to be accepting and understanding of me if i choose a different path than the one he wants.
