Hell yeah it really is nice! Especially around the holidays.
Weirdly enough I have the opposite experience with older folks. Basically everyone, emotionally invested or not, asks me if/when I’d ever be open to talking to my dad again. Maybe they’re just scared of their own kids doing the same to them?
Anyone under the age of 50 generally will tell me “good riddance” though just like you. Which feels so much more validating lol.
Clearly they meant “Arguing with Idiots” by Glenn Beck
