Short and simple....You are learning grasshopper. I might have gotten a little bit shorter...but that is nitpicking.
ADD note-Is that actually what you sent her? Or is it a shortened version? I have a problem in text or conversation where I shorten up what I am saying. In doing that I usually drop key words that take smooth sentences and turn them all choppy.
"My response back:Between 5:45 or 6? D knows all but last 3 or 4 answers for (maybe should be 'because the') science study guide were (maybe 'was" instead) emailed to her. If homework’s not done that’s ok S might have a test tomorrow I could quiz him on. Thanks"
I am not busting your grammer butt here. That email looks like something I have sent before and had my butt busted over. My employees used to complain about it a lot...the quote is "It is like you expect us to know what is missing". This is a common ADD problem. Our minds are running so fast that we think we said something and never actually did. If this is the common form of an email from you to anybody...I would work on it with proactive communication. After I gave an employee direction I would ask them to repeat it back to me. It helped me see where I was coming up short communicating.
5:45-6pm,quit being so flipping nice to me because you see me as a stalker and i know for a fact there isn't anything nice in you towards me at the moment and you think that by emailing me about the kids your putting them first to make your own psycosis feel good, because deep down in side you hate me and you think i'm up to something because your paranoid and if it weren't for the kids you be having pina coladas and smoking cigarettes with your EA neighbor, which by the way i know that's what your going to be doing and i know that's what you want to do so breathe easy i'll make it happen because i love you unconditionally and i have to let you go so you can get sane someday and so i can get my sanity back,too.

Add cnslr and i are working on that,i use to many pronouns and expect someone to know where my train of thougth is.
I really see communication as my one Achilles's heel. I just hate how I communicate. Being very serious...I will read one of my posts at least five times before I submit it. I don't know how many times I have written reports and had my wife read them back to me...during which she asks me what I am trying to say. While I am thinking "what the heck was I trying to say!".
I ended up taking a project management class were an afternoon was spent on communication. It was actually quite helpful for my ADD. I use a lot of the communication strategies that I learned now with everybody from my kids to the check out ladies at the grocery store. It is funny to realize that I had a lot of great things to say, but just couldn't say them.
1) "I thought about reminding her of giving the dogs they're heartworm pills, I think I'm going to wait until next month."
Uh, unless this was your job (which I'm guessing it wasn't), stay out of her sh*t. She will NOT appreciate you telling her what to do when she already has it taken care of. Asking to see report cards is entirely different. It SHOULD be your responsibility to see them.
2) Step away from denial. The yearbook thing was intrusive, stalker-like, and any gift that might result would be MUCH MORE about you trying to emotionally manipulate W than anything else. I would suggest you refrain from doing anything with the pictures that you scanned other than this: DELETE ALL COPIES from your computer and email W, "W, it was inappropriate for me to take your yearbooks and scan your pictures without your permission. I had planned to use them to make a gift for D, but something that involves your picture should really come from you at this point. So, that was also inappropriate. I'm sorry that I clearly crossed a boundary. I have deleted the scanned images from my computer and no longer have any copies. Again, I fully understand your anger, I will do better, and I am sorry."
had a great time with kids,yesterday was odd,for no reason i got cried.
when in car D got in my backpack found DRemedy.I immediately welled up,she said dad its a book for ur add.took them to eat and bowling. They know i love them and their mom. D said mom is talking more about the neighbor,i said 2 things, too bad her best friend isn't me, but it's good she has a good friend like that.
D texted me last nite,"stay strong dad,we'll get through this as a family and I am sorry for every bad thing i have ever said to you."
