I mean if you think it would accomplish anything to just tell her how you disapprove and that would be the end of it I don't see any harm in saying so and moving on. It sounds like she's capable of downplaying this stuff in order to have a relationship with you.
If that wouldn't accomplish anything or would make you feel way worse I guess I'd not do it, personally. Knowing when there's no point is a judgment call in the end.
if you would win, yes. If not, then no. Confrontations don't pan off well with family. If she asks why you're being cold tell her to her face but leave it at that.
Depends on if you want to feel like you’re doing something by fighting a moral fight or if you want long term change. I think a lot of people would urge confrontation or cutting her off, but long term the best way of getting people out of those rabbit holes is to spend time with them on other hobbies and shared interests so they don’t feel like they need to go to a cult for a sense of belonging
I think your mom feels lonely when you don't talk to her about her social hobby and you made a mistake not engaging with her from the get go so shes found other people who'll play into her vulnerability and it's led to this.
Talk to your mom pls or else other men who want to use her and harm her will do it for you. But i mean you can ignore all this if you want.
I think that's a bit harsh. You can't just confront a junky and fix them. You can't just talk to them and fix them. It's a path they've got figure out themselves. And if you push too hard or draw a line odds are they will leave.
Trying to persuade a wall to let you walk through it sounds more productive than trying to talk to your mother about politics. Believe me on this, I get it.
Tell her to delegate Updog
whats up dog?
Ligma balls.
You have a chance to help the world by talking to your mom about how wrong she is. Don't miss that chance.
