With a lot of people it is not possible to avoid the topic. My FIL is the same; he got kicked out of Christmas Eve for picking fights about vaccine mandates.

It’s sad when people buy into the misinfo. I personally rely on the “you have to believe that you raised me well. You helped teach me to think critically and find what I need to work for my health.” I lean hard into the “you raised me right - don’t doesn’t yourself in that.”

Sometimes it’s not worth it and that’s not your fault. You can care for him from afar without being besties.

Maybe try set a boundary to not talk about the vaccine or just Covid in general? I know it’s hard but it could be helpful for moving forward in rebuilding a relationship as long as he respects that boundary

My father has become a walking-talking-Fox News-talking-point. It makes holiday time quite boring

I have a consult today and am wondering if anyone has recommendations of questions I should ask.

Background: 33yo, sperm donor, blood work showing diminished ovarian res.

After my first round of blood work Dr is recommending IVF. My partner and I were really hoping to go the IUI route. I’m really only looking to have one child (or rather one full term pregnancy regardless of how many pop out that time). As of right now we aren’t seeing other concerns in my body just the low egg count.
