My husband became trump supporter after pandemic, and his excuses were same as many others. Trans women in sports, inflation, etc.

Our marriage became very strained, we decided to keep politics out of our lives but would always fall back into it. I now realize that he was not gonna change his mind with me arguing with him so all the toxicity that infiltrated our marriage was all for nothing.

After trump won, it all just became too much for me especially because my husband decided to gloat. I started to hate him and it reflected in my behavior.

I guess he had enough and asked me whether I want to divorce him and I told him that I don't know. He said, it's not a "no" so it means yes. He told me he will look for a place and we can sell our house (we cant afford the house on our own)

When I broke the news to my family, I was met with disbelief and anger. They refused to accept that I was doing the right thing.

My MIL told me that I don't exist for her anymore and to not show my face in front of her again. My friends are only one that are supportive of me.

Was I so wrong that I don't deserve support and understanding from my own family. I understand my MIL reaction but my own mother?

AITaH?
