To add a bit for OP. This is 100% context dependent, I agree. My partner did this with her family and it was the correct choice imo. I have never met such a group of toxic individuals before—holy cow. To the point I felt like I was incredibly sheltered. She has some insane stories, somehow always worse than the last.
I get turning the other cheek, and looking at things from other’s perspective, but sometimes that just won’t do it. People can be truly awful and you have to take care of yourself when others don’t have the wherewithal (EQ) to understand the damage they do.
I torrent a lot, even Ted Lasso, but Apple TV is the only service I pay for. Their content is consistently good imo—worth the spend.
And Severance is pretty damn good. Check out Foundation if you’re into sci-fi, too.
