Once I skimmed the transcript I realised my memories of bad treatment of House by Cuddy boil down to one thing
"I'm moving on. Wilson is moving on. And you... You've got nothing, House, nothing. and I'm sick of other people having to tiptoe around you and make their own lives worse while they try to keep you from collapsing"
That hits a nerve with me, as well as every time Wilson calls House miserable and tells him he makes everyone's lives worse. And points out he has no friends.
It probably shows my own awful biases (having to live with 2 very temperamental people over the years) but that didn't bother me at all, it actually made me slightly pleased for Cuddy and on occasion Wilson. Everyone does tiptoe around House to keep his world from collapsing, and it is normal for people to reach a tipping point and let him have it. Is it the best way to handle it? Absolutely not, but it is very human and real life and made the show seem more realistic to me.
