Obviously this woman is poison. Have you ever asked her how it is that you are like your dad? Can she actually put that into words or is she just pushing your buttons. You said that she was once your best friend. So what changed? Or is that a mystery that she hasn't given any clues on? I suppose that you already know this but, there is no need for you to feel guilty that you are at a family event that she chose not to attend. She's on a power trip of some sort and you don't need to carry her baggage for her. It was her that made the choice not to attend.
I have a friend who is going through something similar only her whole family chose to side with one family member and exclude my friend from family gatherings. This went on for a year. Tired of walking on pins and needles she finally, my friend got them all to attend a counselling meeting with her. It was pretty ugly and though many of them said that they wanted to work on their differences none of them have contacted her since. However, she feels 110% better because she tried her best to get them to work with her. She can't make any one of them change and she knows now that they've clearly made their choice.
I wish you luck. Sometimes we have to cut ties with people who only bring us pain.

Don't ever feel guilty over another person's actions, words or choices. As you know you have no control over anyone but yourself and cannot be responsible for anyone but yourself. You can do your best to heal the situation but that's all you can do - your best. If the other person chooses not to work with you then you need to let it go.

You're too hard on yourself, buddy. We all have times of self-pity and anger. Life can be pretty rough at times, but we are here to support one another and learn.
