The best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago. The second best time is today.
You can’t go back in time, but you can choose to forgive your parents for their mistakes. I’m not saying you have to, but its up to you if you want to.
I hated my father through my teens. After lots of therapy and many years of self growth I decided to forgive him for his short comings and move on with my life. I can’t go back to change those mistakes he made when I was younger. I know he was trying his best or doing what he thought was right at the time. Our relationship has been much better ever since. And honestly I think he knows he fucked up in a number of ways since he is now trying so much harder to understand his three sons issues since we all ended up having (and are still having) varying mental health problems which he all but dismissed entirely when we were growing up. Since I was his first kid I got the least understanding version of him. My little brothers both got a bit more understanding version of their father mostly because I had already forced him to learn some lessons when he raised me the wrong way lol.
I’m sorry your mom was dismissive and unhelpful for the majority of your life, but at least she has sorta admitted that she was wrong now. For most of our parents even getting them to admit they made a mistake can be difficult.
I think this has to do more with the popular vote going to Trump than anything Trump did specifically. They all collectively shat on him or didn’t interact with him from 2016 and all through Bidens presidency.
They saw that public opinions has shifted so badly that Trump swept everything and won the popular vote. Suddenly they are all his best friend.
They never cared. They just want to be in the “side” more people like. you’re forgetting that money/power is what drives these people. They saw more money in power in bashing Trump or siding with the Democrats until the 2024 election happened. Now they feel they can get more money and power by siding with Trump.
