Today is my friend's  birthday,  but an ex friend and her flying  monkeys will be there.
Is the first time I see her since the fallout. I don't know what to expect. She's  toxic and controlling, you know , text book narc. The situation  stresses me out, but I want to celebrate my friend and I don't  want to send the message that she controls me.
What would  you do in my place?
