A small gesture when she has specifically stated what she wants from me - not being part of her life?
A small gesture when I have specifically set boundaries that I don't really want anything to do with her?
I think not. Maybe the gesture is small... but it's never about the action, it's about the motive.
And Gabby - I would be equally upset with anyone who I feel has disrespected something that I have asked for.
This is not an issue of if I'm over her. It's an issue of - this was HER choice. She needs to accept the consequences of her actions.
Guarding my heart is not wrong here. Yes - I realize that I am emotional about it which is why I'm not blocking or sending her an email asking her to not contact me.
But in my eyes.. she is the same person. And I am not. And I have no interest in playing in the same dynamic of our relationship - and yes that includes a tiny action such as a facebook like.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
