Ditch the part about "we both did things that contributed to the ending of our M and family..." Its like you still need to get a dig in there (i.e. ex shares in responsibility). It is not necessary and will only serve to antagonize further.
I only added that because in her initial response to me she only mentioned how I had accused her of wrongdoing with the insinuation that she had done none and it was all me. My response shows ownership 'and' shared responsibility. And I mentioned that I'd speak to my family.....even though my kids have told me that her family bad mouths me too. I'm not trying to get in a dig...I'm owning my actions...but not turning a blind eye to shared responsibility either. It doesnt sound 'accusing' to me. That's the truth. Do you still feel I shoul nix that part? Am I supposed to take ALL responsibility for what happened.....like she wants me too?
