I am sorry we are not able to work things out for this weekend. However,If you can pick up the kids and drop them off next weekend, I will give youmy weekend, and you can see the kids.
Let me know.

I received this email two days after the drunken phone call. I know what I would like to say but I know I will risk her not liking what I have to say and using the children to get back at me. Experience tells me that she not work with me again for them to see their little sister on events that are with my family. The children lose and that is not what I want. Her "presedence" is all about her, not what is nice or good for the kids. Am I just not looking at things realistically? 'Cause how I see this is as a mother being insecure and selfish and neither are good for the children. I feel bad for them, what they have been through and deal with. But I understand it is my perception that I view it with and I hope I am wrong.
Any advice on how to respond?

Take the offer as you say "for the kids." That would be a beautiful gesture of love to share with them (if you can work it in). Maybe make a stop somewhere inbetween for ice cream or shopping. I understand the desire to say "no because you were nasty so it's my turn," but I don't think that is your nature or will make you feel good about yourself. It's not too late to play easter egg hunt either. My youngest will play find the easter eggs into summer. You once said you were a giver. Those are special people and too few in the world.
