I actually kind of thought my mom would go to therapy and try to reconnect so she could meet her biological grandson, instead she doubled down and got his mom to block her too. I really mourn her but she's not the person I knew at all, I guess that person slipped away, it sucks.

Sorry to hear that.

There is also another option: that she always was like that but you were blindfolded by love

See? It's a brain worm:

  • abuses multiple "defects" in our wetware, to take the host over
  • spreads on contact, except if prepared/hardened

Ya, MAGA is a mind virus (as in a set of memes that are deleterious to the body, i.e. the people). They projected virus status on wokeness.
