When she starts laying into you. Put your hand up and tell her that you will tolerate he talking to you like that. That if she wants to be respected then YOU will be respected. That it wasn't your fault that you were laid off and you didn't do it on purpose. That you felt bad enough already without having her lay into you.
Standing up for yourself isn't a bad thing in this case.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
