If you want to call my family, go right ahead.  How could I stop you?  Go right ahead and call.  I told you about party, you could have called then.

>> I can't keep doing this.  One email is good, the next makes me feel like I've been punched.  You are not ok.  You haven't been ok.  I know how long ago Beau died.  Please stop telling me as if it isn't constantly on my mind too.  I know we don't talk about it but I am mourning Beau too.  You have been using.  Calling your trip "four days in California" is really diminishing what that was.  I refuse to acknowledge that trip as anything short of irresponsible.  You were horrible to me the entire time you were gone.  
>> 
>> My gut is you have been using this entire time.  Maybe there has been some sobriety but nothing sustained.  Your previous email makes me feel so uneasy about your visit here. Your last email is not ok with me.  I do not want to spend time with you if that is really what you believe.  You are still projecting on me, denying what is really going on and so far as I can see, not working on sustained sobriety.

>> Do not mention again how long ago Beau died.  I have no one to turn to with all of this so trust me, I know how long I've felt alone.

>> My 4 1/2 weeks with my family has given me great support that I have needed.  I will be back in DC on Aug 23 and I will work with Debbie but I will not allow you to talk to me as if I have done something wrong.  I have protected you with the kids, keeping quiet my real concerns, I have defended you with your family and you treat me as if I am doing something wrong?
