DEAR ABBY: Two of my mom’s best friends ended their friendship with her after almost 50 years because of political differences. I grew up spending every holiday with these ladies and their families, in addition to summer lake and winter ski vacations and everything in between.
One of them is my godmother, and they both were like second moms to me. Can it be that simple to act as if they were never friends in the first place?
Must Mom just accept the change, or can she try to repair the friendships? — SAD SON IN CALIFORNIA
