Please can someone remember what I went through

Hi Spy,
I think your letter was very dignified and confident.

I know you still have hurt to process, but I think that was spot on.

Only advice I would offer is to absolutely NOT open any letter that comes in return.
And to screen calls.

Now, do exactly what you said you would do. Short, occasional, dignified communications about the baby.

That's it.

I think you just set a boundary. Keep your own word, and do not let her words in.

love to you,
Hops
