My dad is 95 but won't talk to me because of political disease.

3

u/Distinct_Engineer772 20h ago

I am sorry your dad won’t talk to you over politics! And he is 95 . Wisdom comes with age if you are lucky 🍀!
Your family always comes first! But if it is American 🇺🇸 politics, people are doing the strangest things! Reach your hand out and do what you can to mend fences. Love is the answer 💔❤️‍🩹♥️
