The easy answer is it was so long ago, suck it up for Max & yourself & go to the party. My honest answer is I would be uncomfortable & probably wouldn't go. I would suggest a get together with or without kids with C.
If if you think it would be therapeutic going, then you should go & bring H as support.
I'll say this, I think lots of mean girls are mean girl adults. Some bullies are always bullies and I just wouldn't be willing to travel and subject myself to that. The stuff they did sounds really awful and I bet they would act all cheerful and totally "OMG Devo it's been so long! How are you?" And act like nothing ever happened. Nope.
I'm sure we all did something to someone as a kid but girls/women in packs that have a long history are people I stray away from.
I don't know if I necessarily agree with your first sentence. I know several people who were mean back in middle school and definitely aren't now. Several of them stopped hanging out with me because I wasn't "cool" enough and are now very nice and welcoming adults.
If you're uncomfortable with it, definitely don't go. With that said, they probably would be nice to you if you went so I don't think there would be any issues with that if you did want to go.

Yes, but like I said --- it's not really about that for me :/ I'm sure they would be nice! I honestly don't even think they would remember me...
