What a jerk! That was mean, and the smirk is just cruel on top of it.
I hope this is the fuel you need to stoke the GAL engine that is all about you. You get out there and put you first... You deserve some TLC. One of my old pals here way back when was (and still is) a huge proponent of amping up the self care. Have you read any supportive authors like Marianne Williamson or Cheryl Richardson? Cheryl has some dynamite books on the topic, with lots of help getting started. You might find reading that sort of stuff to prop you up.
