Need help saving my family - part 4

[melissag]

I'll give you my thoughts, but I'm still getting help with my responses to my H, so don't send her anything until you hear from the vets!

The first few sentences are all good.

I would change this:

I would rather we not deal with the financial matters until we can agree on a parenting plan for our kids.

To something like this:

As you may know, I need to focus on my mother right now, as she is very ill. However, I do think it is important that we address the parenting time issue.

Then, erase that whole schedule and just say,

I would propose that we alternate weeks with the children, as it is important for them to have equal access to both parents. I am wiling to move to [W's town] to make this as easy as possible on the children.

After that, it looks like you copied exactly what she wrote about birthdays, etc. Do you agree with that?

I would also leave out the let's be friends part, and would not mention her comment about no chance of reconciliation. If you want to end with a nicety, you can say something about how you think that it is best for the kids to get along and coparent as amicably as possible.

That's my $.02.
