maga dad is a fucking drama queen

he texted me on tuesday out of the blue having a full blown meltdown that i’m a communist (i have been? also grow up?), his paitence has been abused, and he won’t be seeing me when i visit my hometown next weekend. he was obviously just upset that a couple dsa candidates won their primaries and unlike my sister who has his texts blocked, he thinks i’ll listen to him. i told him to get off the cross, we could use the wood and haven’t spoken to him since. my mom texted me saying i need to apologize for calling him racist (lol), and now the past two days he’s left me voicemails saying he loves me unconditionally, happy 4th. i know he’s just emotionally stunted and lashing out for attention but i’m really over it. i used to give into the guilt and immediately reply to him, try to smooth things over, be the bigger person. but i don’t have it in me anymore. anyone else dealing with parents like this? my nervous system has never been more healed then when i am away from them. and that makes me feel bad.
