Am I crazy or did she use abhorrent wrong?

Like, our views can be abhorrent in that they're disagreeable or disgusting or whatever, but they can't to abhorrent to something. I think?

I know everything else is rubbish too and this person's kids probably don't talk to them anymore, but I really like that word so this annoys me.

A better word would be anathema

That's a way too complicated word for her to know.
