Hi Jennie,
Whew! Feeling a little more like you can breathe again?

I have to agree with Pat. It's sometimes better to get away from certain people who suck the life out of you.

I was under the same kind of circumstance w/ a family member. Only it wasn't her values that bothered me, it was her always talking about her, her, her.
Ever feel like a forced audience to a show you have no interest in because you've already seen it a hundred times before?

I think you're afraid of conflict and so you don't say anything to him about what you'd really like to.
I did say something to my sibling and it went right over her head the first two times and the third time-I guess, I got a little more assertive about it and she did not take too kindly to that at all.
Would not meet me half way so I've bailed out.
If and when you do decide to say something, don't apologize for it in the aftermath. No matter what his reaction may be.
I made the mistake of doing that and overexplaining myself to the point I made myself be in the wrong for saying something in the first place.
I really regret that. I didn't stick to my guns.
Stick to your guns.
