We were married for decades, did I not even know you? How is it that you're now a young earth creationist and moon landing hoaxer? I wouldn't even care if it wasn't for the fact that you're getting woo all over my kid. Fortunately, he's smart enough to know better.
Holy shit, CD. I hope your kid sees through that!
My ex, who I had thought to be one of the most level-headed people in my life, underwent a similar derailment (or should I say derangement?) of reason. In a three-year span at the tail end of our marriage, I watched her go from sensible skeptic to woo consumer extraordinaire, complete with an embrace of astrology. I still can't fathom her change. It's unsettling when someone you thought you really knew becomes a stranger.
I know, right?
Yeah, he sees through it. I was concerned a few years back about how credulous he was, but he has developed into more of a skeptical inquiter, in a good way.
