Hi 2tp. Lotta stuff going on with the kids. Not any of it good. Some communication going on with their mother. It oscillates...we'll communicate strictly about the kids, good and decent communication...then out of the clear blue she'll throw a hatchet. It's a stressful emotional roller coaster, both with the kids and with her. She has her hands full with them and she's tearing her hair out, so to speak. I don't banter with her, I don't fight with her, and I don't disparage her...I just listen (or read) what she says, including her spear throwing at me, then go on and try to be helpful and cooperative regarding the situation with the kids.
