Thanks, again, Root. Once again, you're tight. I just got back from the grocery store, but before I left I wrote a toned down version of my original "rant" email, one more in line with what you suggested.
I still have not sent it yet. But as soon as I got home I had another email from W, before I've even responded to the one this morning. Now I am really alarmed. This is what she wrote:
Quote:
I'm sooooo sorry about your Dad. We name all the family on both sides in Liam's prayers every night & we gave extra special mention of their grandpa last night.
I figured tax received is ____. Painting & repair work labor ___, supplies ___. Repair of air conditioner ____= about _____. Left over ____ x 60% = ___. Sorry I forgot to give you the rent. ____= about ___ So I have a check for you for ____ & one for ____. I had taken out of the rent for the mediator before. Is the 18th from 2-4 good for the appt with her?
I think the main things to settle are how to split the profit from the house & visitation. I would be OK with you keeping them Fri-Tues am like we have the last 2 weekends every time (every other weekend) & then I could have them every other weekend instead of every third weekend. It would be more consistent. That would be less split up & have most of the school days with me.
I talked to a social worker at CPS & she said it could be reported to CPS if you leave kids in the car unattended especially a special needs one. Mostly because S7 may take it on himself to wander off looking for you. It isn't against the law. It is against the law to leave a child under 8 at home alone because of the fire codes though.
Several things scream out from this latest. (1) She has said nothing to me until this moment about my father, other than passing one message along from my aunt on this matter. She has said nothing for her own with regards to my dad. Now she comments about it, out of the blue. (2) Oh, she's jockeying for legal position here alright. I can see her line of thinking clearly now. This is a threat she's making and nothing less. (3) She continuing to insist on decreasing my custody time with our S's. This is a deal-killer, and is going to force us into court.
And about her rough figures to try to account for the money spent, yes, I think she doth protest too much. I have already asked for copies of receipts and she said I was being anal retentive.
Now she wants to trump up charges against me?
I am sick of this already. I am done with the niceties with her. I am contacting my lawyer on Monday and forking out a retainer. I want nothing more to do with this alien person and will only tolerate strict business with her from now on.
