" But Dad, you belong with Mom." I thought I did, but how am I going to get beyond what she said this morning? I love you very much, but I think you s...ould stay out of this. I told her to see my attorney and I would have my, or should I say our, assets listed by Wednesday. I'll be fair, but I'm not going to give her everything. Your schooling is safe.
