Hey Choc,

How's it going with you? Thanks for validating the email. I haven't sent it. Still wavering as usual. I know what you mean about flexing the power muscles. I just need to wise up to what I want and then use those muscles to get it. If, and it's still a big if, what I truly want is out then I just have to send the email. If I want to give him one last chance to shape up then I need to be totally clear about what that looks like and totally clear what happens if he doesn't. I'm not 100% clear on what it looks like yet. When I've got that figured out then the sentiment of the email is what happens if I don't get it.

Maybe this is a start

Go to AA
Look after yourself
Treat me with respect

Now I need to draw a picture for him of what the second two mean. Geez doesn't that list sound like what you might say to a teenager?
