@zebratron2084 I suppose a ban on political discussions during family time would work about as well with your family as it did with mine, i.e. they'd bring up stuff like that and insist it wasn't political, or that they couldn't possibly have known it was political, or that they just forgot...

@Austin_Dern it's ok, they're good people, they just... yeah. usually i get along fine with them but this is not the day for chirpy chitchat

re: family ( hate hate hate ) 

@zebratron2084 Yeah, I understand.

I have some friends who try to help me through hard moments with cheerful little nonsense talk and I just can't get them to understand that I would recover faster if they let me sit in a dark cave hissing at passers-by, real and imagined.
