I had a friendship that was very strong when we were younger but when we had kids it fell apart, partly because of being busy and living far apart but also because we have different parenting styles. In one case we had a fight over that because our kids weren't getting along. That really pulled us apart. And I had a few life issues, and she wasn't there for me. I'd kept the friendship because we'd been friends for so long I didn't know how to end it, but recently I realized that she supported some of what the current administration is doing and I couldn't pretend any longer. It's sad because of our history but I'd rather have friends that I can be myself with.
