There's a good reason for the 24-hour rule (or 72-hours) to get one centered and calm before responding to any texts or emails. Dust yourself off and get back on the horse.

There's no devil here. It is all in your head. What I meant earlier was not telling the kids at this time since TG and Xmas are just around the corner. Especially if any one of their birthdays are in Nov/Dec.
This has nothing to do with the "inevitable" as you think here. What is inevitable unless you think it anyway?
Nothing is inevitable unless it is dotted and crossed on a piece of paper. Even so, it is not always that concrete as evidenced by Crimson's sitch.
