56. The thread header still says "I detest my baby boomer. . . parents."
You're going to make yourself miserable if you spend your time detesting your parents. You can cut them out of your life completely but that deprives your kids of their grandparents and you are likely to feel guilty when they die. But that may be your best choice.
My suggestion is that you just refuse to be baited into discussing religion or politics with them. That's what I had to do with mine and we were able to have a pretty good relationship that way. Occasionally they'd go off on a tangent and I'd just ignore it, change the subject as soon as possible.
