AITAH for feeling uncomfortable around my boyfriend’s family because of their political views?
Hi, I (20f) am the proud daughter of latino immigrant parents who were both brought to this country when they were children. I am the eldest-born daughter and I recently graduated college with a political science degree and plan to eventually go to law school. As someone who studied politics, I have always been involved and have tried to always be as informed as I possibly could. The problem is, my boyfriend’s family all voted for Trump, except my boyfriend who opposes their views. I have tried for the last three years to become more involved with my boyfriend’s family and get closer to them because they are, what I would describe as, a tight-knit family. My issue is, with everything going on right now with the Trump Administration, I can’t help but feel anger towards his family, who are also Latino, for voting the way they did, especially knowing my parents’ status. Some of his family members have expressed some regret according to my boyfriend, but it feels hollow. I keep declining going over to my boyfriend’s house because I feel uncomfortable and I have been having a lot of anxiety over the ongoing ICE raids and the possibility of my parents being deported. AITA for feeling this way? I am finding it hard to participate in family events with my boyfriend and this worries me because I really do love my boyfriend and am planning a future with him. Does anyone have any advice for how to deal with this going forward for the next four years?
