Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. (mastodon.world)

I hope you are an adult and no longer live with your parents.

If that is the case remember this. If you cannot have pleasant encounters with him, you are under no obligation to have them at all.

No obligation to keep seeing them, would be kind of hard not to have parents 😛

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 24 points 8 months ago

You still have them, you just don't have contact with them.

[-] i_have_no_enemies@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

You sound like you have a good relationship with your parents, many don't.

You can be there for them when they need you without putting up with the anti-vax ravings you mentioned. It is called setting boundaries.

You do what you think is right but also understand that is not a universal thing for all people.

not really.

i think it is best to minimize contact but not keep null, since these kind of people are self destructive.

that's the only reason i stayed , for their health issues.

What about your health? Your mental health in particular.

Your parents raising you is not something you owe them for. You didn't choose to exist; they chose that for you. Raising you is the bare minimum they can do after making a choice like that. And now that you are older, you can reflect on the manner in which you were raised and decide what your relationship with them needs to look like so you can keep your sanity.

Nope they chose to get a child. You dont have to Do anything for them.

The "them" in that sentence refers to "encounters" not "parents".
