How Should I Deal With My Best Friend Insulting Me?

Published February 9, 2014

Question by Maria Gallercia: How should I deal with my best friend insulting me?
My best friend (43-years old) who has been acting very strangely today (unlike her normal cheerful and encouraging self) insulted me today by joking: “I am going to be like YOU: an alcoholic, pill popping drug addict who also does crack.” I (23-years old) quickly took offense because (a) I don’t abuse prescription pills anymore, (b) I am not addicted to cocaine or even marijuana, and (c) I am a recovering alcoholic. I has been drug free for 20 months, has not popped a pill for 7 months, and don’t get drunk nearly as much as I used to. Ironically, my best friend forced me to break those habits. I think, in part, the fact that her anniversary was yesterday and her husband left her for a younger women plays a part. Another factor perhaps is financially she could not afford a Christmas and she resents the fact that I spent thousands in cash (but I saved it and went without throughout the year) for Christmas; thus, she is resentful. I really don’t know. What do you think? Thanks….
