Today, on my work e-mail I have the following 2 emails:
1. You can decide if you're with me on this or not. It's a mistake of a lifetime not to encourage her. There's nothing more I can do. I have begged to both of you. I have proposed schedules. I have made time to leave work. Just mark my words. There will be a day when we look back and wish we had treated her differently. She is VERY, VERY gifted. It makes her special. It makes her a rock star. It will go away VERY soon if she decides to take it all casual. I'm available, but I'm done begging.
2. I apologize for my tone yesterday with respect to Abby. I know you completely support her pitching. I'm just frustrated with her.

I am with him as far as her talent----but WILL not force her to do this. When the kids stopped by his house after school to pick up the the things they needed he was visibly angry. Told D13 that it was a mistake not to pitch----and that she should "screw the book report" --- her excuse for wanting a pass. D16 said he had a freak out..........
Part of me wants to e-mail and tell him he doesn't owe me an apology----but owes her one, but I think I should let him figure that one out on his own. My 180 for the day-----to ignore.
