OT - Attitude is beauty, right? What do I do about a friend who betrayed me?

I find comfort in some of your posts and advice. I was in a very verbally and sometimes physically abusive relationship for about 18 months, this was 16 months ago. He stalked me after our breakup and I even had to go to court for a restraining order. I've come to my senses and finally left and I'm now in a very loving, giving, healthy relationship.

Here's my issue. I have a friend that I've known for 20 years. She did not know my abusive ex until I introduced them. They did not have a friendship during our relationship. They never talked and never hung out together. During the entire 18 months I dated him, they never saw each other in a social setting or any other setting. She knew how badly he treated me. She is happily married and has no interest in him now. However, she "likes" his posts on facebook, comments on his pics on facebook and seems to be cultivating an online friendship with him. Purely friendship. I know these things because people tell me, and I wish they wouldn't. I've told them I'm not interested.

I think it's an unspoken rule that women stick together in a situation like this. Especially "friends" of 20 years. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel betrayed. How could she do this knowing how he treated me? They have no reason to be friends. They are in completely different social circles and have different styles of living and nothing about them being friends makes sense.

Do I confront her and tell her how my heart feels about it? Or leave it alone and continue to feel like I can't trust her?
