You actually have no personal obligation to keep friends that you make you unhappy. It doesn't matter if you're related to them, it doesn't matter if you've known them since childhood, it doesn't matter if they helped you out of a jam once. If someone is actively bringing negative energy into your life then talk to them about it or end the friendship. You are responsible for your own happiness. It may not be your fault that people hurt or take advantage of you but it is ultimately your responsibility to protect yourself from those people. No one else will do it for you. Y'all need to be more mindful of the company you keep and more willing to make adjustments to it; self love and self care take effort.

ellen really overcame all that homophobia and hate in her career just to sit down next to it and endorse it

I love watching white people explode when you tell them India is in Asia.

Controversial but parenting should be a privilege, not a right. Til people prove that they understand how to employ non-abusive disciplinary tactics, ensure their own personal mental health is being looked after (so as not to harm those around you), fucking believe in vaccines, demonstrate basic empathy skills and have no history of sexual assault or domestic violence. All of these expectations are the bare minimum requirement to being a decent person and if you fall short of them, you do not deserve a child. It is not your right to condemn a child to a terrible upbringing.
