Thanks 2tp. That's the kind of help I'm looking for. Here's a rough draft...lemme know what ya' think?

Ex, I agree that our pointing fingers is doing us or the kids no good and just serves to increase the tension between us. I'll talk to my family. Can we then call a truce and work together concerning our kids....so they can receive the love, support, and cooperation from their parents that they need and deserve?  
I'm not concerned, at all, with focusing on the past any more. We both did things that contributed to the ending of our marriage and our family. My concern for our kids now and from this moment forward is to focus on the present and future in order to help them be well adjusted and successful. I want to DO something about the problems the kids are having. I love them and want what's best for them, and I know that you do too. Solution building and getting positive results is the goal.
