[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WOW, on the one hand, I cannot imagine dumping a best friend of over 40years because of what someone else did. She didn’t do it. On the other hand it’s the bailing him out, which she did, would be a problem for me. She bailed out a pervert and purveyor of CP…no, nope, naw.

My friendships of over 40 years are rock solid (since I am in my 40s these are childhood friends). One never knows what they would do unless actually faced with this but I think we would absolutely be having conversations about this and they would include is this true and if so “why did you bail him out”.[/quote]

She is one of my oldest friends.  We were roommates in college and have stayed close.  We also live within the same town.  She’s a lovely person.  I’m just trying to put myself in her shoes.  I love my children and would support them and love them though anything they could possible do.  But would I bail out my child if they committed a crime like this?  No.  I don’t think they would.  My love means holding my children accountable.  But she’s always had an issue with that, especially when our kids were little.

Mostly I’m afraid if I am seen with her, that this will cause issues at my job.  I know this is selfish, but I think I need to step back.  [/quote]

I’m the poster you are responding too. I get what you are saying and feeling. I understand self preservation as it were, so discussing that part on an anon board is ok. But it sounds like “oldest”friends now refers to time known and not affection.  But either way,  unless you all were regularly in the recent Covid  2022 past meeting up in person, you could talk to her on the phone, or invite her over.  Not going out in person can be chalked up to work, Covid etc. You don’t have to be out around town to support her. But if she is a “dear” friend and not just an old friend, you may be able to help her open her 👀.

If she is just an old friend and you don’t want to be in her circle, so be it. [/quote]
