I don't want to upset her.

"I feel you don't appreciate my feelings or respect me. I want you to update me on the girls and show that my feelings are as important as yours. If you continue to show that my needs are unimportant to you I will not do you any favors (tax papers or anything else)."

This sounds like I'm using leverage. I just want her to understand that without that appreciation, I am merely a putz that gets the honor of helping her out while she continues to see me as a loser. I'm happy to help her as long as I feel appreciated.

I don't want any more ultimatums, because I don't want to come from that place and don't want them used against me in return.
