That last email seemed like she was holding her shit together- but just barely. I can normally tell when my wife is about to start up her period because the irrational crazy steps up a few notches.
I do wonder if that is like 8x with some women and she is one of them.

Here's how her email reads to me,
"Hi, I've spent all night thinking about what words to write to maximize the potential for you to return to my life so I can have the drama I desperately need. Unfortunately I'm pretty incompetent and emotionally unstable so my perception of what you want to hear is, well, pretty crazy. Anyway, here's some more crazy shit I think you'll fall for."

I literally see this wall of text, and realize I don't do this shit anymore. I just would never have the motivation.
I feel the need to defend myself on two points here too by the way.
A.) My kid issue. He's 3 1/2 and normally when he gets upset he will just say something like "You're mean and not my best friend anymore!" and I tell him to go to his bed for time out for 5 minutes, and he does, and then he apologizes and is fine. This time, when he went to his room he trashed it. When he called me because he wanted to apologize, and I saw the mess, I told him he was not leaving his room until he picked it up. So he screamed and cried. For like 3 hours. It was super fucking frustrating, but as a parent, if you cave, they know you will cave, and then you never get to win again. So, because I'm a good fucking dad I just dealt with it. The spanking comment was due to the fact we had a conversation about it once, and I said I try not to spank them unless it's something super bad and severe. I've done it a few times to each, but really don't like to.
B.) I've mentioned before that I'm really clean, and this makes it look like I'm not. I know no one cares, but I'm still self conscious about appearing to be a slob or something. I spend all last weekend Painting the entire house, and putting new baseboards in all the rooms I recently had tiled. In addition, I put net covers on all the outlets, and am changing all the light switches out from the pointy regular ones, to nicer switches. So, all week I've been cleaning or doing projects. So my dishes were all of 20 minutes worth, and the laundry was me going through all my clothes, the kids clothes, and rags, towels and blankets, and trying to cut down get rid of excess. I have probably 35 sweaters, and I live in the fucking Desert, for example. The last few weeks of housework and home improvement stuff has done 2 things, made my house look WAY nicer, and sucked up almost all of my free time, every day. As a lazy person, this has been exhausting for me. I'm happy with the results, but yeah.
Now back to your regularly scheduled drama!
Seriously I would break up with her on the account of her lack of concise expression.
oh shit how did I wind up in this god forsaken subforum..

I think she's just coming out of this tailspin of crazy and realizing what she just did.
She might do this on purpose. Or she might just be pretty enough that she's been able to do this in the past and there's always another chump lined up looking to stick his dick in her. It doesn't really matter which. It's probably the second one.
Men hit an age where they can't do certain things anymore. Women hit that age too.

I'd suggest starting with the shift key on her keyboard. That poor thing is obviously not working too well.

Dude I just read all of those emails. What did you get yourself into? I know you want to fix things, and I can relate to that, but those emails are crazy. I don't even think you should have sent your own 3-page response to her either, but that's neither here nor there I guess. Even if you guys made up and got back together, this will just come full circle again. If she's this crazy after ~1 month, imagine how crazy she'll be in 5 years, or 10, or 30.

The girl is crazy and desperate. She's probably also very alone and doesn't have that much of a high opinion of herself if she's groveling the way she is. Best to just ignore her and she'll eventually go away. Engaging her will just give her hope (he's talking to me so he must still be interested).

Same bro, high five! Only exception to the rule is when she gets hungry. Then she gets a bit cranky. But not all-out pick fights cranky. More of a passive-aggressive cranky where it's actually kind of funny from my perspective.
