Lost my friend to Nazism. His personhood is going to be completely erased so he's dead to me. It's as if he committed suicide. I've been heavily grieving for years.

    I'm really sorry that you lost your father figure. Sounds like a good tattoo for you to have. There's always so much to live for and relationships to have.

    I've gone to a DBT group and seen multiple therapists as well. I'm trying to practice radical acceptance, but I usually forget that the very concept of it exists. Because of that, my work on it is sporadic and slow.

    I guess I can accept that my friend fell for Nazi rhetoric while battling a drug addiction. I don't think he chose this. He was stolen by a death cult and there's nothing to do but be keenly aware of the danger Nazis pose.
