i understand what you mean about our friends trying to discuss the issue.
We know it is out of concern...they want us to be protected and safe....and they probably feel helpless because they really can't fix anything yet they see us in pain.
They want us to take a hard stance, and in their eyes they don't see us doing this. They think we are soft in the head, or doormats.
Anyway, i experience this too to be honest. And its hard.
I think you did fine. And it was good to take some time out for yourself. Maybe you can approach your friend when you are ready and try and explain again why it hurts so much and how it has nothing to do with her but this is a boundary you need to protect yourself right now.
love you
