Help! Political Comments from a "Friend"

[cally]

11. Ask her clearly to not text political information or make comments about politics

And then walk away if she does or send text back with same message. Years ago, my father and I would get in screaming matches about politics. A counselor worked with me on setting clear boundaries and to never engage. I loved my father and after that we had a good, loving relationship until he died. I would get up from table and go into other room if politics were brought up. Mostly no one argued about them during all those years.

Do not engage or explain why. Once you start trying to explain why you set the boundary, you are ceding the power.
