sorry that she did not acknowledge anniversary DadFMF.
I know what that feels like, also birthday ... 'lukewarm Christmas, New Years' ... geez
You are dam right to have ignored her msgs! The intent was superficial & self serving, otherwise she would have mentioned what was important, instead of trying to get information.
What a piece of work my own was ...

Whenever they are in this 'zone' whatever it is,

it needs to run its course, or it will run you.
re: >>
I'll just see where time and this 180 takes me. In the meantime, all I can do is carry on and move on with my life <<<
This is great !

Use the time constructively ...
Love your kids - they will be there for you.
'Distract yourself' with what benefits you, or makes you happy.

We are all cheering on for you DadFMF!
