How do you manage in this conservative hellspace?
I’m originally from the east coast, my parents are progressive conservative so they were tolerable. I’m a left leaning person, engaged to another left leaning individual. We moved here to help my family, who have no moved back home. My fiance likes it here he is… ignorant to a lot of political stuff but with how the province is getting I want to move tf home. I have no family and he has hours mom who lives in Edmonton. I have no friends, no family And my job could transfer me back to New Brunswick. I see the education my coworkers children are getting and I’m not impressed by it. We had a baby last year and I’m worried about how she would grow up the kind of things she would learn from her peers. I straight up heard a child say that he was sad his friend Charlie Kirk died. This is not the environment I want my daughter to grow up in. He wants to stay. I want to leave and go home to my family. I don’t want to break up with him he is the love of my life and the father of my baby, but I don’t know how to TOLERATE living here. He wants me to give it a year in Edmonton, and see how I feel maybe it would be better in a bigger city where there’s more NDP support, instead of grande prairie where you could put a conservative sash on a chicken and people would vote for it.
I need people who are left leaning who believe in science, that vaccines work, people who are supportive of the entire LGBTQ community. And people who don’t hate the disabled. I need to feel like I’m not alone.
Also I saw someone tried to comment and I’m assuming it got deleted; but I don’t know where you got the opinion that I have a ‘drug dependency’ issue? Is it because I said I was on antidepressants? Well that would be because I suffered from postpartum depression and anxiety. So weird that you consider an ssri a drug dependency
