I have been debating whether I should even give W any reply anymore, let alone what that response would be. I am certain she is cataloging my prior responses to make me out to be manipulative and controlling.
MC, I have blown through my sizable retainer already, almost entirely through billable hours accrued by the few emails I've exchanged with my L. But I'll up the ante and feed a little more of W's nastigrams along to my atty, for a little while more at least.
I have written lots of potential responses, but have only filed them away. I keep thinking that nothing will make a difference anyway, and it would be better not to feed her drama, ... or taint my soul any further by stooping to her level. I worry that I might someday regret not taking more direct action, especially if she manages to somehow convince a judge that I am the villain she makes me out to be and that ends up neutralizing my ability to parent. I just don't trust our legal system to come to the right or just decisions in this.
Right now the thing that has me galled is that W has told me I now have to, in effect, report into the wicked MIL what the precise times I will be picking up and dropping off my sons at her place each day. I am the father here and yet I am being treated as subservient to her hostile, evil mother.
At least I have been having a good weekend with S8 and S4. The weather has been fantastic (too bad our bike rides were curtailed by S8's blasted malfunctioning rear hub. We've had fun outdoors nonetheless.)
