How should I have handled my boyfriend’s ex confronting me at dinner?

NC for this.

I was out for dinner with BF, his DC and some friends for BF’s birthday.

He has full custody of his DC.

His xGF, mother of the DC, turned up at the restaurant and started screaming in my face accusing me of hitting the eldest DC and then started asking the DC if I had been drinking something alcoholic. I had one beer with my meal.

Just shocked by it all - she refused the take the children at the weekend when it was her EOW and just turned up with her other DC from another father.

I just don’t know how I should have reacted. I should have walked away and tried to ignore her. But I tried to defend myself. I did ignore at first and even turned my back on her but she came up to my face and pointed her finger in my face.

She can see eldest child’s location on Google Family. I find this a major intrusion in our lives. And must ensure that if the DC are at my house the eldest one doesn’t have their phone.

A bit down, all of it is taking its toll on the DC. Mum not turning up when it is her weekend. She denies she was given a plan, so DP sent it signed for and she hasn't picked it up from the post office - so I expect it will come back in the net days. It has been there almost a week.
Then not calling for 3 days and when she does she says it is because DP doesn't let her call them any more.
DC aren't stupid and are getting the point that they don't want to answer the phone or they ring the doorbell and tell her they have to go because they have friends at the door.
Mum shouldn't be dumping her adult conflicts and insecurities on the DC.
