[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say "I'm so sorry Jane, I know how hard that is. Take good care."

I might even be a little warmer if I felt generous (There is peace on the other side, and I hope everything will work our for you. Or Wishing you all the best or something like that).

But I wouldn't go any further. I wouldn't be vindictive, and I wouldn't be encouraging. I'd just leave it there and would feel pretty comfortable with myself and that choice.

If she presses, or follow up, then I'd see what she said and make my next decision. A genuine apology might get some response from me, otherwise I'd probably wish her the best and then not get involved. "I'm sorry Jane. I really can empathize, but I also felt very hurt when you dropped contact with me X years ago and don't think I'm a good sounding board for you now. I do truly wish you the best. Take care."[/quote]

This is the right answer. Classy, truthful, kind, but not selling yourself down the river.[/quote]

Except if she doesn’t text back, then you never really say what needs to be said.

Have you texted back yet, OP?

You shouldn’t ignore the text. [/quote]
