EDITING/CORRECTION

All my words should have been in red, from me to you.

Sorry for the confusion.


--> Having said that, being "too" friendly in my emails is it counterproductive at this point? (I always wish her a good night, hope you had a good week-end, etc...)

STILL? Are we not clear about this?

Ending with a 2- 3 word "good bye" that is Merely polite is THE MOST you can do.

It's more than sufficient. You can address her by name in the email but do NOT add "Dear" in front of her name, or 'Cher" or any terms of endearment...at all.

You seem to be misreading this situation again.

If her name were "Leah", I'd start w/

"Leah, when we meet to drop off son....."

and then I'd end it with, AT MOST---
"thanks for your cooperation in this matter.
Bruce"

Polite business relationship.

You seem to think "once she cools down, all will be well" but it won't be. This is much deeper than you seem to grasp.

YOUR CHANGES are the only thing that might get her home.

But at this time, you Being flirtatious or too friendly in the emails looks like pursuit, as if you think the hunt is on again.The hunt is over. You need to hear us. You need to grasp what we are telling you. I wonder about you not picking up on social cues and what is happening in your life.

I think saying more than that could either look sarcastic (b/c she knows you were furious and so is she), or as if you are goading her or baiting her to argue

or just playing some weird game OR that you are oddly insensitve...as if you don't think you two are in a legal war right now, which you are.
