I would listen to your gut and protect your mental health if you need to. You deserve respect and not to be treated like that.

If the birthday girl is close to you then perhaps you and she could arrange a coffee? If not sending best wishes and a gift is fine in my book

Edit: But that’s just me. I’ve been worn down to a really low tolerance for toxic situations and would genuinely prefer to isolate than put myself through them
