It’s been on my mind all this time, and it really hurts.
But first, let me tackle the matter of the friendship. Do you believe she meant this as criticism, that she was accusing you of bad parenting for not breastfeeding? If so, yes, I think it’s worth bringing up, even two years later—if you value this friendship. Tell her she hurt your feelings. If this is a real friendship, you’ll talk it through and come out the other end OK.
No matter what you decide to do, though, let me suggest this: One is never seriously troubled—certainly not for this long!—by the things people say about or to us unless deep down we are worried about them ourselves. Is it possible to be annoyed or briefly hurt by a thoughtless ,or even malicious, remark? Of course.
