I empathize utterly, having been here w/ an array of so-called friends. The shattering (feeling of betrayal, trust issues that ensued) led me to seek teachings leading me to focus on the Universe, angels, Light, energy, prayer. What's that quote, when you're ready, the right teacher will show up? Perhaps a shift is coming, Dennett. Do NOT lose hope. "The Great Shift" will happen. This current situation of unloving energy from a significant portion of the world is a last gasp (stemming from fear of change/greed) xox
