my family went out to lunch today
my mom wore a mink & fox fur coat. i wanted to slug her, or at least throw paint on her coat.
how do i say something? anyone have any experience on this?
also, my aunt/uncle/cousin joined us. all 3 of them have SERIOUS health issues because all they eat is hamburgers, steak and chicken fingers--i'm not joking. my uncle has had 3 triple bypasses and 3 heart attacks. my cousin just found out she has cancer in her lymph nodes, and she's only 30. i really want to say something to them about even just cutting down meat and increasing fruits/vegetables, but i don't want to come off as a jerk or make my parents really upset. anyone have any advice on that? typical treatments are obviously failing them, and i really, honestly believe i have information that could help them. am i killing my relatives to remain silent and keep family peace?
thanks
