The only reason I haven't completely broken friendship with them is because Sandra has some emotional problems. She was abused by her parents as a child and we've been friends since we're little kids. I've always sort of taken care of her. She moved in with me and my family when she was 15 years old to get away from her parents and the abusive situation. So I always feel like I am betraying her because she's not 100% well. But Charley has NO excuse! Just looking at him makes me sick. Sandra called me back after I hung up on her and I told her that I don't think I can be friends with them anymore because of what they do to animals ... and they know I am a huge animal lover and I volunteer at an animal shelter!! She started crying and got all upset. It's like a big guilt trip on me. I feel torn because she isn't well but I feel like I am betraying my own heart and conscience by remaining their friend.
