My wife’s ex-friend is pretty good looking, has a great husband, and a couple of good kids. You’d think they were a wholesome, all-American family. But she went off the deep end of the pier.
I understand. I had to ditch a long-time friend (and former bridesmaid from the late 60s) during the 2016 campaign. Just could not take her harping on and sneering at Trump any more. After one of her more ludicrous claims, I directed her to check original sources on the internet. What did she do? She went to Facebook and asked her “friends.” My eyes rolled so far back in my head....
Back when our friendship began, she was an Ivy League graduate and I was not (yet—I did sent myself there for grad school years later); at any rate, I often deferred to her because of her “elite” education. But fifty years along the way, it seems I grew up and she didn’t.
