Everyone needs to follow their own path and I congratulate you on doing that. It is hard sometimes.
How often is it that we let the bullies of the world push us around without pushing back. If this person walked into your home and started going through your underwear drawer, would you stop them and throw them out or stand there and let them?
This person felt the need to intrude into your personal life and I think it would be appropriate to respond, but there are many ways to respond. You could go over to their house with a can of gasoline and a book of matches (REALLY REALLY BAD IDEA) or you could politely tell that person to mind their own business. I would send them an email thanking them for their concern and remind them of the 11th article of faith. You may even add that if they would like to know why you left, you would be happy to sit down and talk to them about it (if you want or not).
Good luck.
