STBXW sent me an anniversary card saving she loves me and thanks me for the wonderful family we created. It was actually touching. It was even a greeting card specifically for Exs.
I did say thanks and walked away, but not sure if I respond later, if at all.
I wanted to respond to this earlier so apologies for the delay. I think what you got here is a selfish attempt at making herself feel good. If you really felt "it was actually touching", then you have done a disservice to yourself Imho. You are in a particularly difficult sitch and I'm sorry to say that I think your WW has treated you quite poorly and you need to give primacy to that treatment. Once you do that you'll see her actions in a different light. To me the right response would be anywhere between complete indifference to actually throwing the card into the bin without much ado soon after reading it. No need to even say thanks imho. My WW told me a few weeks after BD that she will still give me gifts after D. At that time I told her that neither would I need anything from her nor should she give me anything. Fast forward a few months, I won't even respond to anything of that nature.
