This ^^^ sounds like anger, which is understandable but maybe mis-directed.

it bother me because she was bad mouthing me as a father and all her family and friends who are also my family and friends could see it
If they are your friends and family then I am sure that THEY know that you are not a bad dad. And really at the end of the day…it’s what YOU and YOUR kids think that matter.

Had I not read the message yesterday she would have went on being angry and further justifying leaving me to her family and friends.
Dude, you can read the messages till the cows come home. If she wants justification – trust me, she already has enough justification. That is the specialty of the WAS…justify.

All that would do would make her more angry
FTR, I am not disagreeing with your action to not go. I would like to just point out that living for you is about YOU. It is really about YOU doing what YOU need to do for YOU. The minute you do not do this, the minute you waver to avoid HER anger, or anyone elses, well then it stops being about YOU. I am not saying be an as*hole…I am saying that having been where you appear to be, sometime we really are doing thing to get the WAS to notice. Once again, not critizing you dude..just point something out that you may not see. Peace, Eric
