The last post I made was this one where I asked how I should discuss with my friend group, who are all very anti-police, about my dad being in law enforcement.
Update on that, I told them.
We were trying to watch Over the Garden Wall for Halloween where somehow our conversations led to them saying ACAB not once, but twice. My emotions were pretty high after the first time, but the second time I decided "**** it" and interrupted the conversation to tell them. I tried to say what I had written down in my last post, but I couldn't remember everything in that moment and I'm not sure if I said everything properly. I'm also worried now that I came off too aggressively. I know a lot of people were saying that I shouldn't tell them, and I appreciate your suggestions, but I think I just couldn't hold it in anymore. It feels like I snapped or crashed out.
I basically killed the whole mood. The person who last said ACAB was apologetic and sent me a private discord message apologizing further for what she said and how it affected me. Everyone was just really quiet, and we resumed the show without a word. I think we were going to do more stuff after we finished, but after we finished the last episode, half of us left.
I'm not sure what to do now. Part of me is glad that I got it out there, but another part of me wishes I could take it back. I feel bad for killing the mood and potentially ruining everyone's Halloween. I'm also scared of how the rest of the group is going to respond. I don't know if they feel bad for saying things that upset me, or if they're upset with me. We have D&D tomorrow, so I'm going to see them again soon. But right now I'm not sure what to do or how I should feel.
Thank you again for your advice. I'm sorry if I didn't do what you suggested.
