Reclaiming myself and my life, part 2

And she has someone coaching her since I know she'd never think of these divorce related things on her own.

Frank,

The only time I cringe, is when you say or write things like this.

I know.
Obviously.
Clearly.
Never (not that I recall you using that one)

I am not saying be naive, but those are 100% absolutes. No room for error about crap that No, isn't 100% knowable. Not when its speculation. Not without verification.

Someone else's motives, or plans, unless confided with you are seldom that cut and dry.

Those words as I have said before are in the 'superior' person's word arsenal.

They are also words, that if used, set you up to eat your own foot depending on how they are used.

After talking with you...I find myself actually using 'obviously'...which I try with usualy good success to steer clear from.

They are disdainful and patronizing words, are you disdainful or patronizing? Think about it, our speech is a reflection of ourself and how we think.
