I'm not saying this all applies to your friendship, but what may apply, is the saying about people come into your life for a reason. Maybe her need for you has been filled and she is growing away from you. I imagine how you handle this change will determine if she remains a friend that you can enjoy your upcoming trip with.

I will say that she is very unhappy in her home and work life. I have been doing a lot of change work in the last 18 months, maybe that has something to do with it. I'm growing and she isn't. Maybe being around me when she is so unhappy and angry is hard for her. So, for now, I will send her good energy and give her space. Maybe we have outgrown each other. Its sad, because I really do love her. But if she is going to be unkind and push me away, then I don't need that.
