Just ignore him Sweetie. He is being pissy and trying to get you to argue with him. Do not give him the satisfaction!!! Its about keeping your self respect, so don't give him a reason to take that away! It will only make you mad, stressed out. Breath, come on, in through the nose, out through the mouth...
As for your friends, I can certainly sympathize. We have so much going on right now that trying to take on the issues of everyone else is just overburdening yourself. It is exhausting. So now is the time for you to give your brain a rest. If you see someone calling that you know is going to complain, don't answer the phone. I have made great strides in shutting the ringer off. It helps, because I always feel as if my phone rings, I am obligated to answer it. Now, if I dont hear anything, that is a different story!!!
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
