Workplace Conflict

I need to get this off my chest. I’m still very confused and hurt in all these. I applied for a different job internally and I got it. My position was backfilled by another personnel who is in the exact role that I was in but just a different location. I would like to think that I have been very accommodating with her during the transition, even as far as letting my new boss know that if I have to drive over to my former office to help her out, I will have to and committed that the quality of my work will not suffer. Fast forward to 6 months later and I feel like she’s using me. She’s shared with me that she feels like she’s not advancing fast enough. I just kept encouraging her. Then things start happening - whenever she needs an officer for administrative hearings she will always drop the ball on me at the last minute, she partnered with me on a community outreach program that I am leading and sent pictures to corporate and claimed it as her own work, and the very recent one is when we were invited to present at a college where I did all the PowerPoint presentations (even her part) and on the day of the presentation I saw her reading my index card and tried to present my part of the presentation. Internally I was fuming and finally decided that enough is enough. When she decided to partner with me for a Christmas program for employees, I declined and told her that I already have a thing going and I partnered with the clerks of our department. She went to my boss’ wife (who she’s friends on Facebook with) and allegedly mentioned that I’m being difficult. My boss mentioned this to me during my one on one and how I need to be more of a team player. We didn’t have a chance to finish as he was called to respond to an emergency so we agreed to continue the discussion later on. So am I the one in the wrong here? I want to know if by refusing to help her help more employees because I’m upset with her is so unprofessional of me.
