"Same here. And a lot them were friends I had for years. Even family members of mine have become estranged."

Same here....lost my friend of 50+ years.

‘’...lost my friend of 50+ years’’, Wow. Hear you on that one. Me too. Guy I literally grew up with from the time we were both knee high in our old Catholic elementary school days, circa 1961. Nuns in penguin suits and 2x4’s for rulers, whack you right in the skull with them. Those Catholic schools. He moved out to Seattle a few years ago and went completely over to the Dark Side. We haven't spoken now for over a year and more than likely never will again.
