Just gonna catapult myself clear over this minefield. Heh.

I would suggest Something like. "Wow. Not sure. That is a lot to consider. I need some time to gather my thoughts around that."


I didn't respond at first. Then she copied the text over to the monitored app (probably because I uploaded a screenshot for documentation). When she sent the same message in the app, I just went with "why did you send that?".

She said something about spending yesterday afternoon talking and thinking about me while making a Father's day gift with S, and we had some bad weather last night that scared her. She called me to make sure I was ok last night. Then the message this morning.

It feels like a hoover attempt. It doesn't add up based on her reasons. Maybe that's part of it...but she didn't freak out about dying (part of what she told me about the storm) when she wrecked her car a few weeks ago, so I doubt that's really it.

I think it's because she knows she's losing in court.

Do not let her back without doing the work and earning her way back. Or you'll end up right back here again one day.


Oh, neither of those things are happening. For sure.

What are your thoughts on this? She seems to temp check you fairly regularly, do you think this just another temp check or does it seem different? Where are you on possible recon after all she's put you through?


I think she's realizing how hard things are about to get for her, and me taking her back would get her off the hook for a lot of consequences in her mind...and in reality.

I think it's a ploy.

I am not at the point where I want to see her in person. She's done way, way too much. She requested that we only communicate through OurFamilyWizard except for medical emergencies regarding our son. I've stuck to that. The only person that's broken that agreement has been her.
