Her group of friends has always respected one another political views, but things changed after the election. And now she doesn’t think she can continue being their friend.

Here’s the email she sent us:

Hi Bert show and James,

I could really use your help. I know this is going to be a common issue right now with everything going on in our country and I honestly don’t know what to do. I have a group of friends, 4 including myself, and we’ve been friends for years and years. I’m talking best friends. In each other’s weddings, talk to everyday in a group chat…all the things.

Since the election it’s become very obvious our political views are very different. I am the only one in the group who didn’t vote for Trump nor agree with most of their beliefs. Regardless, over the years we’ve been able to put that all aside and still love each other and respect each other.

However, this particular election has taken it to a new level. There have been multiple comments on how dumb democrats and liberals are and how “they” are going to run this country in the ground, racist comments. None directed at me (I’m white btw) but that group of people in general. I’ve been very vocal on social media supporting black lives matter and just wanting love and respect for this beyond deserving group of people which they think is an absolute joke.

My question- when do you know it’s your time to separate yourself from people that mean so much to you? I’m in this mental battle of still wanting to support and love someone even though they don’t believe the same as I do, because ultimately that’s what this whole battle is for, and knowing when enough is enough and walking away.

It hasn’t gotten to a point yet where it’s messing with my mental health, I just know at the end of the day I am very different from them and don’t feel as I belong anymore. I’m okay with not belonging if that means I’m doing it for the greater good and standing up for unity. It just breaks my heart potentially losing people that mean so much.

 

Please help,

Confused me
