46. Well, fortunately I'm not stuck with them.

The breakup of the family happened after our mother died, and there was a bitter dispute over the estate. That's the main reason why we don't communicate, but I choose not to anyway because a few of them are MAGA or MAGA-leaning and I wouldn't want to be around them anyway. It is far better to be separated completely than endure the pain of being around them.
