Wow... How incredibly selfish.

They do sound strained for cash.

However QS, this is a fine example of what everyone was predicting would happen to her when she started acting on impulse and carrying on like a child : consequences.

She's strained for cash? If she keeps up her shenanigans much longer that will be the least of her worries...

She is not taking the time to think things throguh before she acts on them... She's acting on her impulses and then firefighting to deal... And taking her frustration for her rash choices out on you.

The letter poses a few problems :

a. It needs trimmed up if it will be going into a courtroom
b. We need to realize this is a piece of writing and your wife may use it for something you don't want her to - it needs to read professionally just to be on the safe side
c. This may provoke her to go on the attack again - puppy warned about this earlier - as long as you are living there she's going to be a risk of trouble - this letter may just up the ante and force her to get aggressive again in some way we haven't covered yet
d. She may show it to friends and family scoffing at it and upset you
e. She may find a way to twist what is said to her advantage - we have to be very careful how its worded so she can't exploit anything
f. You also said she was showing signs of softening - that may be a trick, but it may be the case that her anger is finally dissipating a bit - this letter may add fuel to her anger again just when she thinks she may be making a mistake

Those are a few on my mind right now...
