Keep in mind I’m a married adult completely independent of my parents.

Anyway, I stopped by their house today and they both started pestering me about recent socio-political and religious view changes my husband and I have had since we got married.

They’re upset we’ve gone more traditional (Anglican) and think we’re “going down the wrong path” (they’re boomer-brained evangelicals who couldn’t care less about tradition or Church authority). They think my husband is a “tyrant” (he leads and I follow, the way it should be). They basically shot down every explanation I had for them about my current views of the church, polity, sacraments, etc.

Then the jews came up.

Now, I’m not exactly *quiet* about (((them))) but I don’t go out of my way to talk about them either. Just a remark here or there. Well, they think I have “bitterness and hate” in my heart. They think my views on them are unfounded. They think I’m not educated about the situation.

Not really sure what to do about this. I stormed out before I said anything I would’ve regretted. My mom already apologized via text. But I’m obviously really upset and distraught about how they’re handling my rapid shift toward traditional values.

Have you guys been in this situation before? How in the world do I handle this? How do I not disappoint my own parents?

My parents went down the pro qanon Trump rabbit hole in 2020, and decided to lecture me on the inner workings of the deep state without one sideways mention of jews. Fuckin seriously.

TDS goes both ways.

Yea, basically they are the inverse of the more popular version of TDS.

My parents are similar. It’s frustrating.

How did you deal with it? I just nodded and let them talk. It was off the wall crap like oh just wait two weeks, or there's gold buried under the Vatican lol
