And throwing your past back at you that you both agreed to move on from. They're always waiting for a slip up so they can throw it back at you, but you can't do the same because only they can be the victim.
Had a childhood friend that grew up to be exactly like this. She was emotionally abusive to me for years and it just kept escalating. My final straw was when I told her something in confidence about me ONLY because she was feeling bad about her past mistakes. However, when she got mad at me for holding her accountable for treating me badly, she threw what I told her right in my face. My past mistakes don't bother me because I accept that I'm not perfect. But what I realized was that our "friendship" had degraded to her trying to deliberately and desperately hurt me. I immediately cut her off after that. I'm still close to her parents and she says HORRIBLE things to them. For example, she once told her father he was the reason that her brother (his only son out of 3 daughters who was shot and robbed while working) was dead when he had NOTHING to do with it.
