Harder and harder

[AnotherStander]

Your right- The email sounds fair. The problem begins when I see her name as the sender and the anxiety begins....

I open it, read it, over analyze it, begin drafting a response and exhaust myself.

Hang in there, it gets easier! You'll have hundreds of such emails as coparents. Your response was what it should have been. Now you just have to get your emotions in line with that as well If you're not sure about your response then go ahead and type it up and save it as a draft, wait a while and read it again before sending.
