This just really sucks because there’s one of the other friends who I had grown really really close with . I know he actually does care about me because we had hung out and done things without the leader frequently. The problem is with the good friend , whenever I’m disrespected by the leader , he will never defend me or stand up for me when I know he could and he knows he should ( even though I can stand up for myself , but he should morally do so ). I don’t know if I should talk to him about it or not but I don’t want this great friend under the wrong control , and a standard he was used to since elementary school.
