Defacto - what was your motivation from ignoring her first couple attempts? The only reason I ask, is that I think in some situations it is acceptable to respond.
Mahhhty, Thanks!
I did contemplate responding but then I considered that I would see everyone tonight anyway. Honestly, I didn't want STBX to feel that this was just another normal birthday for me and that everything was hunky dory. I was undecided so I went with do nothing. Plus, I wanted to be consistent with the boundary. The fact that I was thinking about how STBX would feel if I didn't respond just confirmed for me how attached I still am.
But it's a moot point now because of talking with the kids later in the morning.
