I've got one kid. But knowing what happens when teenagers grow up is less about knowing kids and more about knowing adults.
And, yeah, I know at least a dozen of people who aren't talking to their asshole conservative dad. And most of those dads aren't even full-bore Neo-Nazi Internet trolls; they're just standard MAGA. Which is enough for probably two out of three people to nope right the fuck out of the whole concept of family once they get into their early twenties.
Which I don't particularly approve of either - I've had a fair number of "look, your dad is entitled to his own beliefs and it's not like yours are anything other than a template either" conversations. But, what are you gonna do. People who grew up married to ideology learn to put ideology before family.
