I'm big on loyalty these days. It's painful but necessary to keep me sane.
I can't be a good daughter to a mother who doesn't seem to mind living with a man who has threatened both me and my husband with bodily harm.
And I can't be friends with people who don't seem to mind friends of theirs threatening me.
Maybe one of these days I'll learn how to play with the rest of the grownups and not give a shit. Most likely it will be when my son isn't a child anymore and I don't feel like I have to play protective lioness. Until then, live with it or don't. It's your choice.

All of that said, I don't know why someone would edit something after they wrote it. That, right there, is not a threat. You're saying he said he was going to come visit you? What was the context?
You're right about me that I try and avoid drama. When I have friends that are fighting, I generally try to stay out of it unless I am in a position to remedy the situation. I am not in such a position now. All of that said, I would like to think that if I saw a threat or felt that you were being threatened by someone, I would react appropriately because even though you may not find me as such, I believe I am a loyal person.
But loyalty is a two-way street. I do not appreciate being put into a position where I have to choose between friends. Especially when I do not have all of the story. Or moreover where I didn't even know that the choice was on the table or why it is all of the sudden flaring up now.
And yeah. If you want to talk to me about something, talk to me. I am a reasonable and rational person. Possibly to a fault.
Hope all is well.
