True Friends

True Friends tell their friends when they are being a bitch. It's true. I've had to do this several times and will continue to do it. We usually remain friends.

I wouldn't take Hoof Hearted's approach. That will end up escalating an already tense situation, which is as mature as treating someone poorly in the first place.

You can still let her know her behavior is unacceptable without escalating. Directly and calmly (if possible) tell her how you feel about the way she's treating you. It doesn't help to be passive aggressive.

Don't start in with dramatic lines like "why would you say that to me?" She'll respond with her excuse about how overwhelmed she is, and it will all become part of an act you will be doomed to repeat as long as the relationship continues.
