Someone in my house got covid. I live with my parents. S*** is stressful. My parents are republican and are all over the place with what is right and wrong and what you can and can’t do when someone has COVID. My Mom just answered the door when it was rung by 2 salespeople, and then she stands there without a mask and talks to them for like 5 minutes with the door open.

On one level I am upset because the sales people are giving her a hard time, being annoying a** door to door salespeople, but at the same time, I feel like, why the f*** would you open the door, when someone in our house is actively sick and has been sick with COVID for the last like 6 days, and they even tested positive again today.

Everything is just so f****** weird to me. I hate that republicans had to get all crazy and s*** because people just wanted to apply our best understanding of the situation, a la, masking, social distancing, etc…

And then if I try to to keep things tight and not let anything out as far as germs and I close my door and I wear a mask… my Mom gets upset with me. Like, why in god’s name would you be wearing a mask inside this bLeSsEd house?

It scares the f****** s*** out of me. I have no idea, what they are going to do or say at any moment.

There is so much more I could say, but living in this house, being gaslit by these people all the time, having no friends, I just get confused.

To me, here is what I thought:

Someone gets COVID. Then, basically, shut it down. Don’t open the door. Don’t go outside. Don’t work. Don’t go to the store. We have money, like, I feel like we can just pay another $50 over a couple week period for the added expenses that go along with having things delivered to the front door via contactless delivery.

As far as in the house, personally, I feel even while quarantining, I want to wear a mask in the house. I am not the one who is sick, and every advantage I can put on my side I want to do it. But my Mom got upset with me for wearing a mask in the house.

I’m just so f****** confused. My Mom acts like none of this is a big deal. And yet the other night she was saying how she might have to call an ambulance to come pick up my Dad since he was like having a hard time or something. So then I get stressed, I am thinking like my Dad might get put on a ventilator and maybe he’ll die or something.

But she acts like there is no reason to be upset or anything about anything.

I am just so confused.

It’s like the full circle of COVID. When this s*** first came out in late 2019, I was for everything, masks, social distancing, quarantine, etc… everything, absolutely everything.

And my parents, were against, literally everything.

I could just go on and on.
