So here now is the letter that DS21 sent his mother after DD3 when she ran and asked for Collaborative Divorce:
I got your message last night. It started with you saying I'm not picking up because I don't want to speak with you. That is only partially true. I didn't pick up because it was VALENTINES day. It was a day for me and my fiance to celebrate our love not hear about how my parents destroyed theirs. I also did not hear the phone ring as me and my fiance were enjoying each-others company without phones. I understand you wanted to wish me a happy valentines day but you were very selfish to call during this time. The past few days have been hard and yesterday was meant to help me forget for a short time and just be happy with my soul-mate.
Now there is something else I want you to understand. I am not angry that you and Dad are getting divorced. This is something I thought was going to happen for a long time even if I hoped it wouldn't. What makes me furious, what makes me lose respect for the woman who gave birth to me is all the lies and sneaking around. You lied and cheated not only on dad but on me and my anxiety ridden brother. Why not separate before all this? You would have saved so much trouble and heart break. Worst of all out of all of this you are a hypocrite and the worst kind! You judged my relationship with my Fiance constantly. You hated that she wasn't Jewish, you ridiculed the fact she was abused, and you were disgusted by her past relations. I told you these things needing approval and guidance hoping you could love her as I do but no, it was always something, just like everything else in my life, there was always something wrong. What I find so Hypocritical is that you judged my relationship and the person I was with so harshly on your sense of "morals". However while you were judging us you were sneaking around and lying to me, dad, and my younger brother. This just makes me sick. How could one judge so harshly on moral ground and while judging be lying and cheating on those she supposedly loves?? You told me once that Jewish girls were more faithful than others. You were not only lying through your teeth but you were being the worst kind of hypocrite. A judgmental person only spitting out these "moral" statements because I wasn't with the nice virgin Jewish girl YOU wanted. You have taught me so much from this whole ordeal. You have taught me that anyone can say anything to anyone even those they love just so they can get what they want.
I know about the things dad has done but you weren't perfect either. I know about the fights, about the abuse he may have cause in the past but there is one thing I have learned. As a person who is dedicated to another you have to let the past go ESPECIALLY if that person feels bad enough to want to seek out help to make the relationship work. You didn't even seek help you lied, manipulated, and tore our family apart. My father has many flaws, hell I know I have inherited a lot of them, but he is a good man and a great father. He acts rash in times of stress and suspicion but haven't you given him every right to do so? How can someone trust another who lies constantly. My father has raised me to be a good caring young man, and I would say you had a good part in that, but honestly with everything that's gone on as of late, with all of the lies, I question everything you ever taught me. I don't know whether to take it with a grain of salt or just delete it from my brain forever. I don't want to see you at my graduation. My graduation will be a happy time it will be where me and Sonya really start to have a life and honestly I don't want someone in it who can lie to their family constantly with no remorse. I hope you have a happy life with your new family.
