I reconnected with a childhood friend thru facebook, and although it's not remotely the same situation, I understand your sadness.
She's so different than the friend I remember, not just grown up, but like you say almost brainwashed in her politics and religion. She has nothing to say that's even about her, everything is about Obama or the troops or the nation going to hell in a hand-basket.

I asked her to stop sending me all that crap and mentioned how much I'd like to hear about her life.... she apologised and stopped for a short time, then started up again using a different email address... like she can't help herself. It's just sad. That must be so much worse with someone you were so much closer to.
