Oh no Patty, I do not tolerate that kind of behavior. And thank you for being proud of me. I think I handled it well. But you know, 2 days of a friend of 4 years suddenly yelling and judging and being verbally abusive hurts and causes stress. When I am stressed a little self doubt creeps in. My pdoc helped me see the obsurdity of actions and words (you offered to let him stay with you for $100 every 2 weeks and says he won't have it for 2 weeks and he he calls you selfish). We went over the behaviors that upset me the most so that helped a lot. This ex friend is part of an inspiration I have. I will start a new thread because it involves a whole bunch of different issues that I have discussed in different forums. Look for my post in a day or 2 in the (believe or not) either the school/studies forum or the career/job forum if there is one.
