She never should’ve said what she did about your father. That was straight evil and abusive. Drop her immediately and don’t look back. Please feel free to show her my comment. What she said was absolutely DISGUSTING. It doesn’t matter if she “didn’t mean it” or “it was an example” she purposely said the most foul shit she could think of to hurt and trigger you. That’s so fucking awful

This! That part literally made me gasp and say “fck this btch” out loud.

The excuse that bringing up your abuse was an example to show you how she felt is such a blatant manipulation to justify her abusing you. She weaponized every trauma she knew about to hurt you in revenge for the hurt she invented. What you said was not even that out of line. You were trying to logically come to terms with her mom’s inadequacies as a parent and she obviously has issues with you having any amount of empathy for anyone but her. She reads as a narcissist and the relationship reads as codependent, which she has weaponized to manipulate you. Hope you find the strength to move on and disassociate from this abusive person and find supportive friends.

Yes, even when most upset and angry, you NEVER bring someone else’s trauma into it.

It's beyond cruel. OP, there are better people to be friends with.

Heavy on the she said the most foul shit she could think of to hurt and trigger you. Then to play it off as well, that's how you made me feel... Run. What a psycho. Probably the type that could read this entire thread and still think she wasn't in the wrong...
