…T wo weekends ago, I went back home to Lake Orion, something I do every month. It’s nice to sleep in my own bed and spend time with my family, but I like Ann Arbor more than my hometown.

…H ow did you do it? Maybe how isn’t the right question. The logis- tics of “how” began when mom filed the paperwork and you moved out. You belabored the legal process with unlaw- ful tactics in the courtroom, certainly not on behalf of me and my brother. The asinine time span — nearly nine years — was of your choosing.
