I am operating somewhat in fear.

Not a good place to operate from!

I am literally in the position so far of only being able to respond to what my wife does, not take the initiative.

Why? What are you afraid of? Her filing? She has already done that. It is time, especially as it relates to protecting YOUR R with the kids, that you drive this a bit. Be clear on what it is that YOU want – not what your W is willing to give.
IF deep down in your heart you believe that 50/50 will not work – then that’s okay.
Remember this…..”doing the right thing – is NEVER wrong”.

I mean, we can talk about what our plans are but whatever trust was there is long since gone so it almost is worthless.

You continue to operate as if there is an “us”. Now is not the time to trust that she is going to do right by you and the kids. She has her opinion and you have yours.

As for the email. I would not send it.

Do you really think anything you say to her is going to change what she does?

Speak to your L. Let him know what is happening and see what he says.
