The Black Knight Lost in the End

[LoisB]

This is the email I sent my atty on Monday...

I'm working on my many questions. Do I have to have these done by 12-15?

What exactly is Dec. 15? Do I have to come?

I have an appointment with the Superintendent of our local school district this week regarding Louisa's homeschooling.

Should we go on the offensive with all these allegations? Do we ask him to name the "roommate" he listed on the paperwork and the nature of their relationship. I feel as if I'm opening the mailbox to one-after-the-other attempt to make me the bad guy. Do we send some letters of our own, or will the court see this is tit-for-tat? There's always drug testing if we really want to shut him down. I can't imagine he is getting through all of this without his coping mechanisms.

He is desperately trying to engage in conversations with the girls via texting.

I am on deadline today and tomorrow. I could talk on the phone on Weds.

Thanks,

Heather

I got a vague response to call him and that I had to be at the hearing. That was fresh news.

So, I got a little miffed and sent him this:

Before we talk, I need to know exactly which of the many issues I need to address with the most energy? What are my top priorities?

Am I going to be on the defensive this entire hearing? Will Smokey have to defend ANY of his actions? Do they have witnesses?

Please let me know before we talk.

Thanks,

Heather

I received this:

Dear Ms. XX (Never calls me by my first name),

I am in receipt of your email. All of the issues are important. We can talk about them on Weds. Kindly schedule a telephone conference.

Thank you.
