I think T made an excellent point (per the norm) however. I hope it comes to a resolution you are happy with.

The kids don't need to hear all the terrible details.

I'm not sure complete avoidance is a good idea.<br /><br />Just my .02.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10112766306021310705noreply@blogger.com
