WAW has texted/emailed/VM'd demanding that I call her about "something," but in no case has there been any indication, no matter how oblique, of what Thing Some Thing might be.
This strikes me as a very dubious proposition -- as General Patton said, haste and speed are not synonyms. I have thus far refrained from my normal reaction impulse but am now at a loss. All else equal, I would much prefer writing to speaking -- our convos historically (i.e., for 22 years) have an almost magical way of going right off on tangents. The mere "tone" of the missives she has dispatched puts me in Defense Mode.
Thoughts?

1. Did she NEED to know about the crying/meltdown episodes? What happens at your place also happens at hers.
1a. Was surprised to learn that they don't expose themselves that way with her; apparently -- if S10's C is to be believed -- I am Safe Haven, where they can act out (good, bad, and indifferent).
2. Short and trite responses are also normal. I was the king of expectations when sending messages to wife.
2a. Oh I fully expect short and trite "to me," where every sentence from her ends with the thought-bubble, "[comma] you a**hole." But on the subject of the kids, where she has expressed "concern" and "absolute interest" and the desire to "always be informed," I found it rather disconcerting.
3. Does the thought of placing a blame on her behavior (MLC) give a bit of willingness to understand/forgive?
