Dear father,

Heard that you were loudly talking to that darling second child of yours, telling her that her mom was going to owe you a ton of money when the divorce goes through.

It was one thing for a judge to hear my case to relocate, but I'm wondering if they'll do to this divorce what they did to my case and 'dismiss' it? You wrote divorce for cruel and unusual treatment. What exactly is that? How can a judge even award that? Under what grounds? No wonder there's constant delay for lack of discovery. What's the precedence?

So, um, you asked to borrow money from me, after my bills, school shopping for three and a week-long vacation? But that other daughter has had rent paid for a year, plus utilities, cable*gasp*! She has cable?! And two cars, just for her, auto insurance, health insurance and you asked Me?! For money because you like your tank near full, even though it's one of those crossbrid, electric cars and you left my gasoline only at half to drive you into Boston and back. Paid my son $10 to clean my car and rugs?? Van was clean. House was spotless....really?!
