If you think you are aging, might I suggest some eye cream and maybe a spa day with your coworkers??!?!
Anyways your update looks good. It [censored] that you don't think giving her a chance to apologize is even worth the time, but you're probably right.
I will give her a chance to apologize eventually. I told her as such. I called her out for her poor behavior and in the 10 minutes I walk from work to my car she decided she wanted to apologize. Her wording was 'when you pick up the kids you need to get out of your truck and listen to my apology'. Quite aggressive for someone looking to apologize in my opinion. I wasn't ready to listen to any apology at that time and told her I wasn't ready to listen but would let her know when I am ready to hear her out.
I need to do a better job of holding her feet to the fire on things and not accepting a cheap and quick apology for something I deem egregious like leaving me out of the kids lives intentionally is a good start in that direction for me.
No eye cream or spa day though...never been to the spa...maybe I should go :-)
