M,

I am going to give you some homework, honey. Yes, you're not done with school yet! There may be a pop-quiz in the horizon. grin

Your homework here is to borrow the Wonka magnifying glass and take an objective, critical look at the draft response. Think about how I would improve on this. Take out the red pen and make your comments. Talk it out here with your "pretend-Wonka" thinking cap on. You got this.


I have not told them anything, since (1) my filing merely reflects the reality of the current situation, which they are already well aware of; and (2) as we have discussed previously, and is made clear in the book we both read as well as the child psychologist I have spoken with, any discussion with the children about the status of our marriage and the ensuing changes in their lives should be discussed between the two of us first, and then presented by us together.
