True story, my mom just now told me not to call her anymore to talk about government, monetary policy, preparedness, or anything else that isn't "fun" conversation.

Discussion
You mother sounds weak minded. Most cannot stand discussion of anything beyond surface depth. I hope you have more fortitude for your offspring.
I think she's just closed-minded, which is wildly absurd to me because she taught me to be so open-minded. But I guess that's closed-minded of me to think she would have to be open-minded to teach me that.
That's harsh. *hugs* & good morning 💜
It was the saddest "Good Bye" I've ever said. Ofc I'm going to keep talking to her, but will the connection ever be authentic if one person is always catering to the other?
She may be emotionally overwhelmed by both the topics and her child being so worried about the world. She may think if I tell my child to leave these topics alone they will be happier, not understanding that discussing these things bring you clarity.
You also don’t know what’s going on with her mental health and she may need this boundaries to maintain her own peace. (She may not even realize that’s what she’s asking for) Lead with love 💜 if it doesn’t hurt your own mental health.
Thanks for all of your comments. Great insight that I wouldn't have been able to consider on my own.
