Good post. Even if my friend groups there’s so much hostility, rude texts, etc… it’s a lot. Is it jealousy or what?
For some reason (maybe it's a good thing in the long run?) people are letting it all hang out. Maybe people have felt hostile in the past, but experienced enough censure that they tried to contain it? We have a large number of people working in non-traditional jobs (or not working at all, in one way or another) so no constraints from the workplace for many.
People have very different attitudes about sex, than in the past, as well. The term "stepmom" is applied to dad's girlfriend (and not just in this case, but rather frequently in various news sources). In this case, I believe the girlfriend was extremely jealous/hostile toward the mom (who lived just around the corner; the two parents had chosen to both remain active in their daughters' lives).
(I don't really believe it's a good thing; the entire role of human culture is being jettisoned when we leave off having to apologize when we are rude and do not strive to stop being rude). Rudeness is one step away from physical altercations, in my book (have seen it many times).
IMO.
