That has also been playing in my mind. The celebration of her b-day is a big deal to her. I always bought her a really nice gift, a camera last year parachute jumping the year before. So by not acknowledging her birthday reinforces the fact that I am not there for her anymore. And maybe spark interest in what I am up to...and prompt her to initiate comm....who knows. I am not good at Texas Hold em.
But again with my slim opportunities to reinforce positive feelings towards me. I don't want to lose that opportunity nor do I want to reinforce her negative feelings by not acknowledging her b-day. In my profession I have data to analyze to help make decisions. Here I have a WAW that has not communicated with me for 2 months and no legal action to date and I do not know what to think or do.
