Unfortunately, I am just like you... I am not good in handling rude situations and felt angry for days after that.
Does the 9 years old do all these out of bad intentions? Or just oblivious?
We do have many acquaintances but no close friends. Then someone told me that my kids are blessed to have each other, friends come and go, but families are forever.
Don't give up in searching for new friendships. But on the other hand, don't forget to enjoy whatever you are blessed with.
