Hi Irish , as you know I have two D's the same age as yours and a couple of older boys. I've just gone through the whole graduation thing for one boy and eldest D. Like you I loved every minute , even the shopping ( 12 hours in total ). Your D's suffered more than mine at BD and my youngest D does see her mom for about 5 hours a week. The other three don't because that don't want Any more pain. I understand your daughters reaction and my thoughts are that the only option you had was to dismiss it as quickly as possible with minimum fuss which you seem go have done.
Generally I think your ex and Ds will have a relationship again one day but who knows what depth.
I agree with others that ex at least made an effort even if she didn't ( couldn't) think it through.
Your a great role model and as you always do , put the girls first , if that means deflecting Ex's madness then so be it.
