I'm not sure that people here are arguing so much about that. Where you become so abrasive is insisting that people see it exactly the same way you do for the same reasons you do. People disagree with the details and your thread goes sideways.

I think this happened before about your home value too.

Being argumentative and abrasive is never my intention. I will agree that I always want people to see things how I see them, or at least in what I think is factual. Granted, it is my version of a story, but I do not insist that anyone agree with me. I just want to be clear with my words and descriptions. Often, I go back to add detail, and I think that is where I become to appear abrasive. I will work on that. I do the same thing in person. It is not just in my writings. It is in my everyday. Perhaps a little OCD?

Will you get farther by trying to become respectful of the differences between you and W? Or by pushing your views harder and piling on more judgments and criticisms of her? I would argue that even if you think this will get ugly, you might save a lot of time and heartache if you can have a respectful conversation and persuade W without the fight.

You can see that there are people in the world who don't think moving a kid is NECESSARILY particularly harmful, some of them are here and your wife is obviously one. It would be good to learn to approach different viewpoints with respect.
I agree
