To ask if I was wrong to hang up on a friend?

About 6 months ago, I was going through a very tough period. I had just escaped an abusive situation and had moved into a flat on my own. During this time, a friend, who knew all about my situation, would call me constantly. I was overwhelmed and needed some space, so it took me a while to get back to people.

I explained this to her, letting her know that I was not ignoring her intentionally, but needed time and space. She seemed to accept this, but continued to call, and after several attempts, she sent me a harsh text saying she was done with our friendship and then she blocked me.

At that point, I was actually relieved to be free of the added stress of that friendship, given everything I was going through.

Last week, I received a call from her on a withheld number. I was caught off guard and, feeling overwhelmed, I hung up on her.

So, AIBU to feel justified in hanging up, considering everything that happened?
