And then I beat the hell out of them with facts. And I let them know that I'm always prepared to fight longer and harder than they are. This results in them either avoiding the topic with me altogether because they know it's not going to end well for them. Or they just don't invite me to certain family functions.

I'm fine with either one. I've got plenty of friends and can always find something else to do. And I don't mind being alone either.
