Greetings, Abby I’ve been friends with Debbie for fifteen years. We have done many things together, and our kids grew up with each other. She has always supported me and helped me get through a challenging divorce.
About a year ago, Debbie made the decision that our divergent political philosophies precluded us from remaining friends.
Suddenly, she texted me to say it. I was heartbroken. She banned my number when I tried to reach her.
Debbie and I have known each other for years, but we have never talked about politics. I’ve considered writing to her or visiting her home to see if we can work things out since she blocked my number. What, if anything, do you believe I should do? — I lost my best friend.

Greetings, Lost I’m sorry you lost someone. In my opinion, Debbie should make the next move. She was ruthless in what she did. Stay away unless you want to attract more criticism and disappointment.
