Toxic Female Friendship

The Story

Hello, everyone! I want to raise the issue of friendship between women, which is proving toxic. I'm a 42-year-old woman with one child, I'm going through a very important period in my divorce life right now, and I've noticed that my best friend, whom we've known for many years, doesn't get me into a position without it in any way directly affecting her. I repeatedly asked her to leave me alone with herself, explaining to her that in this period I need absolute peace of mind to gather my thoughts and decide what to do with my life. What I got across was ringing constantly, constant questions about the divorce, and accordingly, I had to listen to her, too, what happened to her - some trivial things. Over the years, there was a moment when he "shoved" me with money, but I forgave her. There have been times when for two or three months he doesn't answer her phone, but I've always understood it. But the last two years he's been talking about himself, constantly using me as a trash can and copying me for everything. He gives me unsolicited advice and allows himself to call me a provincial because I'm not from the capital. But the most offended was that it didn't get me in my position. When I directly told her that I needed to be alone for an absolutely reasonable reason," she eventually pouted. We're talking about mature women. Have you had a relationship like this? Is the time come to go away from my life? What is friendship for you?
