I loved this. A really good friend of 30 years whom I laughed my way through life tricky times with decided she really liked Donald Trump,my dad's an anarchist atheist his family are staunch irish catholics and ones an Opus Dei priest,my mother reads the Daily Mail.I'm a cardy wearing woolly centrist I love them all dearly and hardly agree with them on anything.It is a lost art. Sounds like you've played it really well and your good bond with him held even if uneasy sometimes. Hope the uneasiness improves with time.I was in a similar position with my now 27 year old autistic daughter.
She's desisted now and relieved we went for watchful waiting until she was brain maturation age.Still says she's non binary and she knows I think 'so what?' but we're good.
She's even considering having children with partner in future. Huge change but it took from 12 years.
