Life Matters - Separate stories podcast   /     Ask Aunty: the competitive friend

Description

A friendship you formed twenty years ago always had an element of competitiveness to it, particularly coming from her. Whether it be making comments about weight, or comparing how successful she was to you. You would let it slide.  Reconnecting later in life, and having also both been through cancer, she continues to make life a competition but this time with who has done the illness better. How best do you handle this friendship?
