Hi Toots (from your timezone nonetheless...but with jet lag).

I see you have sent the email and I think it was well written. Actually I admire your ability to word things so well. Kind but detached.

I have a question for you knowing that you and I similarly have little contact with our H's. What is the harm in saying D is not what you want at this stage? In moving forward with the financial settlement you are sending the message that that D is what you want. But it's not! I get that you need to sort out the financials to protect yourself but it's a shame that has to happen under the guise of "as if". Just wondering if there is a middle ground here, a way to be true to yourself while also protecting yourself financially.
