Texts are an easy way to help you drop the rope. You don't have to answer every one, and if a question is asked only reply the minimum.

I just opened up my messaging app.

Here, verbatim, is a sample of my recent texts to W over the last 48 hours (generally all responses to questions):

"Not yet."

"No comments."

"No problem."

"Yes."

"OK."

"Yes."

"OK."

"Yes."

"Yes."

If she asks something specific about our son, I may provide more details to her.
