From my warped perspective, I didn't read bitter or angry in this post. I read a guy trying to stay balanced and keep his emotional bubble in the middle. That's good. Do you know now that she asked for the favor so she could hand you some D papers? It's a coparenting business arrangement now. Treat it as such. How would you negotiate a win/win deal in a business matter?
Just for kicks Jeff, what's your GAL this week? You know I wouldn't want you to think I forgot or didn't care enough to ask.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
Jeff....I have to agree with ISLH here. I think that you would give ME the same advice. I think that, at this point, the 'business-like' attitude doesn't help much at all here. I think that the Jeff I listen to on the phone 'moves mountains'. If, even in the minutest chance that reconciliation was a possibility, why validate her reasons for 'D'????
Return to the Strength and Honor Jeff. Hey....you ARE a good man...you ARE a good DAD..and I KNOW you KNOW IT. And..what John said, EtOH IS a depressant, is what I said and IS TRUE. Put it down and it will help you get back on track.
I support you.
Strength and Honor.
