Delegation or mediation

Family sent me a mediator. After 3 years of no contact with my kids they have decided they would like to now see them. They have decided to minimise any contact with me, they will email me requests of visitation, and I can then reply mail with agree or not.

How sick and sad is that that the world of technology has come to families emailing each other in stead if calling and having a civil converstion?

Of course civil for them is a far stretch. The curt momosyllabillic words I receive are a far cry from what civillised people would call acceptable, but I am peachy sweet, have learnt not to rise to the bait, and reply in a lovely friendly manner.

The older I get the more I realise I am sick of people who don't contribute to a relationship. Dr Phil say eithe people " Contribute or contaminate" well, there you have it, you figure out which it is.....
