So sorry. I have a parent that went full extreme right wing conspiracy nutter during covid and has never come back. We donโ€™t talk anymore, after much trying on my part and none on theirs. I have no advice other than look after your own mental health, because you probably canโ€™t do anything about theirs. They have 100% certainty in their righteousness. I hope your situation is not as bad though. Itโ€™s rough, because itโ€™s like loosing a parent. Actually, it is loosing a parent. Youโ€™ll grieve and wonder why. But youโ€™ll feel better in time if you prioritise yourself. Took me too long to learn that.
