Hi Indiana,
Yeah, situations like these are never easy are they.
I agree, the reasons for 'C's' cattyness and agression towards you are jealousy, professional or otherwise and deep-rooted insecurity.
I personally would go on your friends birthday dinner, for several reasons.
Obviously 'A' is your friend and you want her to have a good birthday but also I'd go for you, go and hold your head up high, you've moved on so don't let 'C' get to you, if she's funny with you just laugh at her , politety of course.
You might be surprised, she may be ok with you, either way I'd be okay with her, that way you will win the day.
A big bonus to this is the next time a similar situation occurs you will be better equipped to deal with it. Action conquers fear. Please let me know how you go on.
I only got up to feed my liddle puddycats, I'm going back to bed now, have a good weekend.
Andy.
