I don't want to fight. I don't want to go to court. I don't want to deny you, or myself, access to our daughter. I don't want you to be away from her any more than you want to be away from her.

But you make decisions that are completely out of sync with what common sense. Your staying here for more than a few days is one of those decisions. Think of the consequences, and communicate with me when you have.

All the unpleasantness can be avoided. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, or made you think that I feel you've done nothing for me. You have done a lot for me. But other people, like me, have feelings too, and are under stress, and have other problems. The course of action you are on now--in Canada, getting a job--gets us both what we want. Please don't deviate.
