She is a VERY angry person and can turn on a time. She always used to tell me "I will NEVER get angry at you", and she really was very protective of me. If someone was mean to me, or slighted me in any way, she would get super mad at that person. And since I'm horrible at that, it was kind of nice to feel like someone was looking out for me. She never confronted anyone directly, but hearing her say "they shouldn't have done that" was helpful to me. I guess that's what she did for me.

Maybe she realizes that you're changing, and that you don't need her for that function any more. If she's offended, that may be what's doing it. (Esp. if you feel so strongly that the friendship is over.)
That was actually one of the reasons (I realize now) that I was attracted to my ex-h, and that was one of the functions he performed for me. He was a very angry person, and I am very fearful of confrontations (use to be). So that actually did attract me to him. I admired his forcefulness and decisiveness. But of course his anger soon became directed at me, whenever I did anything that he felt challenged him. And a big thing that challenged him was when I started to become healthy enough to take the initiative for my own life.
