Don't take responsibility for her bad actions. However it may be best to leave any blame out of your message altogether. Only because it makes her shut down and not listen, not because she is right.

Brevity and clarity may help a lot. The wall of text effect may shut her down.

Hope that isn't offensive for me to say?
its too late to change anything in the first psart bc i gave her the handwritten copy already.

im open to any suggestions you have on what ive written today, tho, the 8.25 part? ive rewritten it like five times and it sucks every time i dont know how to say it w/o blaming.
Thanks for this!
