Beanie, I am so sorry you had to encounter such an insensitive individual with so little compassion.
Many times when people act like that, I believe it is due to many personal issues. Of course that does not make it right to behave like that, but as difficult as it may be (when in reality you just want to kick her in her big fat butt).....if at all possible, recognize what she said and try not to attach your emotions to her words. I know it is very, very hard. I know that you have no idea what her issues may be going on in her personal history to make her like that. But try your best to not attach and let it go. Not worth it.
You are awesome, you are loved by many of us here, and that is what really matters. Right? Right!
Hugs....
