More People Are Cutting Off Family. Nobody Will Say Why.

[00:00:00]People are cutting off their own families. And I mean cutting them off completely. And in the times we're in right now, they have to. And it's not because they gave up on their family.

[00:00:11]It's because the people in their family aren't who they used to be. And what's causing it in the family problems that people usually talk about, it's a color.

[00:00:21]A politician's color. Some family members are choosing a color. a politician over their own flesh and blood, over logic, and let's be honest, over reason. They refuse to even have a reasonable conversation with us. They refuse to listen to any other perspective. They've already decided what's true. And no matter what proof you show them, no matter what you say, nothing's going to change that. They are choosing a voice that they've never met.

[00:00:54]somebody who doesn't even know their name, who will never sit down and eat dinner with them, who will never show up when things go wrong. They are choosing that stranger over the people who grew up in the same house with them. And think about what that means. You know, your brother, your father, your mother, somebody who watched you take your very first steps and they trust a politician more than they trust you. and they trust that person even when we can show them evidence that we are right and that person is wrong. They believe what that person says over what you say and they'll defend that person's honor before they'll defend your honor. And here's the part that really gets me.

[00:01:44]When you bring it up, they flip it around and they call you disloyal. And you can even show them the proof. You can lay it right in front of them and they will actually look you in the eye and they'll deny it. And you know that's not just a disagreement.

[00:02:01]That's something a lot deeper. We spent our whole lives being told that family loyalty is everything. That blood's thicker than water. That you don't walk away. And a lot of us are realizing quietly and slowly in the back of our minds that that loyalty towards us, it was never really there to begin with.

[00:02:24]We're realizing that we're not just recently losing our family. We actually never had them in the first place.

[00:02:33]Because a person who is truly loyal to you doesn't choose some stranger's opinion over yours. A person who's truly loyal to you doesn't believe propaganda over your lived experience. A person who is truly loyal to you doesn't look at the evidence that you give them real verifiable undeniable evidence and then call you the liar. That's not loyalty. That's a person who's really never been on your side. And when you see it clearly, really clearly, you just can't unsee it.

[00:03:09]And I'm not talking about disagreements.

[00:03:12]Families have always disagreed. That's human.

[00:03:16]I'm talking about something different.

[00:03:18]I'm talking about a person who has decided that the world inside whatever screen that they're looking at is more real than the world that's right in front of them. And the people that are right in front of them. Because this political fracture that we're in, that isn't the whole story. Think back when we were kids in the car, when we were at the dinner table. We've seen this kind of behavior before. The way we were treated growing up, the things that we were told were normal, they're not normal. And we know this now because we have the language for it. We have therapists talking about it. We have research. We have people finding each other online and saying, "Wait, that happened to you, too?" And we're finally saying that was not okay. None of that was okay. And we were gas lit for years and told that what we saw with our own eyes didn't really happen. And that what we felt was wrong somehow and that we were the problem. And we believed it because we were kids and they were adults and that's what kids do. But we're not kids anymore. And now these same people, the ones who told us that we were too sensitive or the ones who rewrote history every time we brought something up, they're doing it again.

[00:04:45]Except now it's not about the past, it's about politics. And we bring them facts and they deny it. We show them proof, they deny it. We play them the footage, they deny it. The truth is at some point you have to stop arguing with somebody who refuses to acknowledge you. It's not because you gave up. It's because you finally realized that they never planned to listen to you anyway. They've decided what's true and they're going to defend it to the grave. And you can't help somebody like that. All you can really do is just protect yourself from them.

[00:05:26]Now, here's the part that nobody talks about. The reason cutting someone off, even somebody who's hurt you, even somebody who's chose a politician over you, the reason it's still so hard is because we were told for our whole lives that walking away makes us the bad guy.

[00:05:47]We were told that cutting off family is abandoning them, that it's selfish, and that one day we'll regret it. and no matter what they did, they're still family. But that voice that says you're wrong for leaving or cutting somebody off, that's not your conscience.

[00:06:06]That's training. And maybe it kept us safe when we were kids, but those days are over. Cutting somebody off is not abandonment. Abandonment is leaving somebody who needed you. And this is not that. This is removing yourself from a situation that is quietly destroying you. And that's not abandonment.

[00:06:33]That's survival. Cuz you're not walking away from who they were. You're walking away from what they've chosen to become.

[00:06:41]And that's not your fault. More people are cutting off their families right now than at any point in modern history. And the reason nobody will say why is because the answer is uncomfortable.

[00:06:56]Their love was conditional. They said, "As long as you believe exactly what I believe, I'll love you. As long as you always agree that I'm right, I'll love you." That's not family. That's some kind of warped loyalty test. So, we didn't just cut these people off out of nowhere. We just stopped believing their lies and started believing our eyes.
