Two homes. Same night. Different rules.

If the other parent is about to pay, house, or hand over the keys, you do not need to win the argument tonight. You need one line the two of you can both say — or a plan for the house you actually control.

Two houses. One disease. Money, housing, and contact have to be the same line in both kitchens. Kids are not messengers and not the reason to cave.

If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. If you are in a suicidal crisis, call or text 988. Family line: (458) 298-8008. What to do tonight · Join Family Squares Monday at 7 PM Pacific.
