During a night of heavy drinking, she launched into a cruel tirade aimed at me and another friend. She’s married with two children; we were both single at the time. She called us pathetic for still being single, told my friend that no man would ever want a single mother, and essentially suggested that our lives were somehow lesser because we didn’t have husbands and families. Obviously, we cut her off after this! There was no meaningful apology, no resolution, and honestly, I don’t care to repair the friendship.
