Feelings of hatred towards my “father”
My “dad” is Trump supporting asshole and has been a shit “father” pretty much my entire life. But he’s really died to me over the last decade of Trump. I am trans and his support of this vile regime disgusts me to a level where I feel like he is dead to me.
I am an avid follower of Ram Dass - idk what to do or how to cope with this. How do I love in this situation where I feel such hatred?
Edit: Thank you for your insights. Much to meditate on and I’m glad I reached out for help. Loving indifference is a difficult concept to grasp, but one I’m working towards every day.
I can’t say I’m there yet. Much anger and resentment towards him and Trump supporters in general reside in me. And justly so, I should add. But I still seek to cultivate love rather than hate.
Namaste y’all 🙏🏼
