I lost a friend who has been (and is) involved in abusive relationships this week. It started when her boyfriend started trying to have angry conversations with me and stormed out because I kept smiling and held my ground.

Then she started saying snide little things- I felt like I was being tested, or explained to as to what my place was. She shared my FB info or last name with that jerk I never wanted to discuss politics with- so he could spam my page w Hillary hate. I don't think so. The insults continued till I could no longer go along with her fiction that they were innocent and light hearted.

She accused me of thinking I was "too good" and said "see where all that got you!" And why aren't we talking about "cops having to wear bullet proof vests" (cause they've been standard issue for thirty years) and the whole world is crazy, with bombs in garbage cans and .... clowns. And then I realized I WAS better than that crazy shit.

She regrets voting for Hillary because it didn't pan out. Because maybe she lost that argument with her man.
And I distrust her because she likely used my FB page to amuse that abusive bigoted piece of shit that cheats on her.

I think we've found out what a lot of us really are. She didn't ever have to think about how important some things are to me, but when I explained it to her- she did not care. So yeah, I feel like I have been tested.
