Behavior! In 2012 two men sit across from each other for a debate that I sit and watch, many sat and watched. One man literally interupts the other man "72" times, laughs at him, condescends to him and bullies him. The next day I learned that the individual who behaved so badly won that debate. Does that make sense? When is that behavior acceptable?

Tolerance?

This past Tuesday two police officers went to a domestic situation call. They did not think it was as bad as it was because no violence had taken place. They faced an Illegal that had a gun and shot at them Killing one officer and injuring the other. The officer that was killed was a black man who was a very respected family man and getting ready to retire. And the Illegal already had a record. Where is BLM? Why is this not something all the news is covering? Doesn't this black man's life matter?

Would it have helped if these officers had a psychologist in the car with them? Would it have helped if they shot this other man in the leg? Do people get to know that often the most dangerous calls are domestic disturbances?

Tolerance?

What does this have to do with the OP's situation? Because there are times that it doesn't really make a difference to say anything. That people will not listen if it's not something they care to hear. That trying to say something may even end up with the person being hated. And often the parent just tries to get along and accept or tolerate, after all, it's family.
