Thank you, Dolly! :-) You gave me a smile.
As the day has progressed and there's no card today either (and she's always on the dot with cards, never even a day late), I find I'm actually quite happy that she didn't send one. I see it as more her problem than mine that she is going to do nothing to repair a relationship with one of her own children. I, mysef, am happy to be away from the negativity. I'm happy not to have this piece of hypocrisy arrive in the mail.
It just baffles me, though, how people can do things like claim to love their children while backstabbing and betraying them.
