Besides the part where you are awesome and if there is any *snapping* to be done, it would be a group of us here going out to find your x and....hehe jk
Yeah, those kinds of emails can sure jab at our maternal defenses.... I see you're recognizing it's bs, tho. So now that you do, what's the next thing??
(megaphone voice) "Attention: Please step away from the nonsense."
Here's what you know (and so do we ): 1. You're a fantastic mama 2. You have the school stuff under control, all on your own 3. You don't need xh permission or his input for anything
So, who cares what xh thinks about you and your parenting, whether he believes he's handling things, etc? Although you are probably correct that he is trying to get attention, along with hundreds of other possibilities because he can't figure out how to get happy... who cares. You know your truth. Your kids are doing great.
That's all that matters, M. That's really it.

If you go through your last 2 posts, what would your list look like?
