Ex-friend - WWYD?

I've NC'd for this.
I became friendly with someone last year, did the usual coffee/shopping/chat on phone thing, initially she was fun but over time started to demand more and more of my time and became moody and sulky if I had other commitments. She criticised my friends, told me to drop them, tried to get me interested in her interests and didn't like it when I didn't, hated it when I didn't agree with her etc. Things came to a head a few months ago. She was incredibly unpleasant and difficult when she saw me and was extremely rude to another friend of mine. I told her that I thought her attitude to my other friend was out of order but she wasn't having any of it. In fact she told me that I should be grateful to have her as a friend and listed many of my so-called faults that she was putting up with! I cut off contact. All ok except that since then she has sent all my dc birthday cards (all primary age) and I don't like it at all. Should I do anything? Or leave well alone and hope she forgets about it? I feel slightly unnerved, so please be gentle. She has form for becoming extremely obsessed with things.

Just ignore her and the cards. Simple.

Ignore her : ) If you see her out and about and she approaches you (and you cannot run off without been seen) be polite but feign total ignorance of the cards and then excuse yourself post haste!

I have had past friends / flat mates like her, you have my sympathies.

I wouldn't do anything. Not a damned thing. Don't give her any headspace.
