Hi, [Custodial Dad].
Don t you agree that it is important to [daughter] and to our families that we communicate as we parent [daughter] together.
I would like to have an opportunity to have us be advised by parenting counselors, either the same one or different ones to help us be effective and supportive parents to [daughter] as we transition to the new parenting format.
Can you please work with me and with the very recent chnages and keep the lines of emaill communication open? At least, please don t cut off this very important and efficient avenue of sharing about medical, dental, school and social decisions for [daughter]. I am able to work with a counselor at any time. We have practices here in for [town in other state]. I can inquire about webcaming you in and feel free to ask if I can be webcamed into a clinician in your town. I d be glad if [spelled incorrectly Step Mother] could participate as she shares so much time with [daughter] now, as I understand.
Please let me know. I would like the best for [daughter]. I m sure you can agree on the same and seek help to bridge our shortcomings in communicating. We will all benefit.
Thanks, [Custodial Dad].

[The Ex];
I shared the same sentiment several emails ago. Yes, I agree there needs to be a third party involved. I will locate a family counselor who hopefully may be willing to telephone you in. I will see if Dr. [home town therapist] may be willing to do so or recommend someone who can.
However, I will no longer engage in this type of dialogue as it is just simply becoming nasty and redundant.
In the meantime, I will default to communication via registered letter. You are not acknowledging my emails andisregarding my statements. It would be best to proceed with communication I can document your reciept of regardless of your acknowledgement.
