I was his only friend. There is a reason for that. I have too much self respect and too much self love to be treated like that.
I知 proud of myself. I致e grown stronger in 3 months. There is some pain but I知 not falling apart like I was 3 months ago. I知 also taking Florida in stride. My daughter is coming for a long weekend to see me and we値l plan a longer trip for later in the summer. I値l just get myself ready and go float my cares away at the pool Saturday. To heck with this nonsense.

Jennifer, a really big, big HUG to you. I am angry at your behalf!
To treat you that way is ugly and may be it's right to call it evil as well!
I have been on many vacations on my own, on bus trips. I have seen almost most of Europe. May be you should search for such a bus trip reasonable to join from you living place? Google for it. If you join such a trip you and your fellow "trippers" will be taken well care of on the tour. You visit nice places and everything whit meals and hotels are already fixed for you. A side effect of such a trip is a growing in the feeling of self worth. If the cruise prices are low, may be that can be an idea as well?
It seems rigt to end the relationship with your friend.
You need to set borders/bounaries for your daugter. She cannot treat you this way! If you haven't read it from before, may be this book will be of help: "Boundaries Updated and Expanded Edition: When to Say Yes, How to Say No - To Take Control of Your Life (2017) by Henry Cloud and John Townsend
They have written books about "boundaries and children" and about "boundaries and friends" as well. Just so you know.
Good luck with dealing with all this, Jennifer!
