I don't know about your situation, but I can relate an experience of my own.
I have a pinned post about how, 50 years after high school graduation, I connected with a girlfriend from those teen days, and how the two of us have become friends.
Well, someone tore into me about how horrible I was for breaking up with that gf in HS, and no matter what I said, she would just keep up her rant against me.
I finally realized that this SWeep must have been deceived and hurt terribly by a man when she was younger, and she was projecting all of that onto me.
So I let the matter rest. After a while, I went back to that post and deleted all the conversations involving her.
So, she was indeed mad at me "for a reason", but the reason was not exactly rational. Maybe in your case, there is a similar explanation. At any rate, I am very sorry that you have had to put up with this.
