NLW, if you choose to respond to the emails do not get sucked into an argument. It can happen quickly. My H use to email me about an issue and somehow it became a rehashing of the past. He still needs to hang onto the anger and spew about this being all my fault. I've been caught at a weak moment and felt the need to defend myself. Believe me, I regret it. So, just be careful. Try to pause for 24-48 hours before responding. Having a paper trail is good. I'm hoping the emails that I have will show my willingness to settle fairly and with consideration for both our needs. My H has run up huge legal bills on both sides with his ridiculous, self-serving actions. He is constantly emailing my attorney, which is completely inappropriate, to state his case or tattle on me. He's a classic gaslighter (didn't know that until I read a great book on the subject). It's all crazy making.
