      Hi everyone,

      I have a little question about friendship. It is not very important but I want to be cautious moving forward.
      I got back in touch with an old friend of mine, she knows my ex.
      Since I am aware that he is an abuser I have cut contact with absolutely everyone who knows him, to protect myself.
      My question is, is it safe to get back in touch with old friends (who know my ex)?
      I had one friend who wanted to get in touch with my ex and I told her that she really had to pick sides, that in this difficult situation there cannot be any grey area, it’s either him or me. She got quite upset and was offended and we fell out of our friendship very quickly.
      Now I am not sure if I should ask this one too if she is still in touch with him and if yes to choose. At the risk of loosing her?
      I don’t know, is my request too harsh? I need to protect myself. My safety is for me the absolute priority. It is much more important than friendship and maybe that’s offending to some of my friends.
      What is your opinion on this? Thank you for your time.
