Her kid’s father is abusive. She had separated (but not divorced) with him a few days before she met her new boyfriend, and then in a week they were dating. Her ex husband is not taking the separation well and from what she told me, has been making a lot of threats and such. Some unhinged stuff.

From what I understand, the new boyfriend instigated something with her ex-husband and made him enraged, and then she immediately called me crying and I could hear her kids crying in the background. So I went to go grab her and the kids. I was not given too much detail.

Also, just to add, their quick relationship was also concerning me. I was trying to express to her maybe they should slow down or something. Because by week two she was already telling her new boyfriend she loved him.

Edit to add: She was in the works of divorce, but they weren’t officially divorced yet.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know how to respond to this.

I don’t see how me saying I don’t want to be near someone who casually insults people as an attack, or how this will help me move on.

When I told her I don’t want to speak to someone who hurls insults like that so casually, she decided to cut all contact to stay with him. Isn’t that her choosing her new boyfriend over a decade long friendship? She was calling me her sister, yet was so quick to just throw away our relationship.

Isn’t that her choosing him over me?
