I'm struggling with this. I ñive across the country from my parents. Not seeing them for the holidays would be nothing new since I have often worked shitty jobs and couldn't take time off. Mom has already tried to get me to book a flight, but i hated flying even before the pandemic. I know my family won't be taking this very seriously and live in a pretty populous area that is also not taking it very seriously, so honestly, they'll probably be exposed at some point anyway. If my dad gets it, this may well be the last time I get to see him. I'm living off student aid atm, so I can take precautions to avoid exposure since thankfully my classes are online. I don't exactly see eye to eye with my family. They perpetuate many ideas and policies in this country that I believe to be extremely harmful. While I don't wish them suffering, I often wonder if this country can make any headway without this way of thought dying out. I'm not sure how I feel about the prospect of my dad passing, and that really troubles me. I'm not sure if my sanity can handle the inevitable conspiracy talk if I go see them. I just don't know.
