No. Sometimes, that stuff is an unconscionable betrayal. Sometimes, that shit is an all out assault on your own children.

I won't let them back into our lives to abuse my little immigrant family.

I was having nightmares during Trump's regime. I dreamed they came for my Iranian husband and son, throwing them in a concentration camp -- and my father was the gate guard.

I cannot let people back into my life who inspired such a sense of threat.

My estrangement from them was NEVER about politics. It's about betrayal.
