My grandpa died angry. He lived to 100. Probably hated every minute of it. That’s about when I figured it’s genetic. My father is angry too. And so am I.

He made everyone miserable. The whole family of baby boomer kids and gen-x/millennial grandkids had to put up with his shit until the bitter end as the manbaby patriarch. Nobody cried at his funeral. You heard saying “not a dry eye”. If there’s an opposite then that was it.

Seeing the dysfunctional Trump family on the world stage these past 10 years has been all to familiar. At least with the millennials and gen-z in my family, the cycle of rigid traditional hierarchy isn’t being continued.
