answer:If it was me, I would choose not to confront them. They are old and set in their ways. You are not going to change their outlook on life. On the other hand, it seems to me that you should not have to listen to them spewing hatred without being able to respond. I would say something like, “Mom, Dad, we’ll just have to agree to disagree on politics (or religion or whatever). Let’s talk about something else.” You could call a little less frequently and write letters in the interim. It’s a difficult situation. Good luck!
