And every single time, I had the same thought, and the thought had three parts, and all three parts were wrong.

The first part was: so there’s money, and she’s spending it on him, and that is more than she has ever done.

The second part was: a trust with his name on it is a thing I cannot touch and should not touch, and the day he turns nineteen it will be his and good luck to him.

And the third part — this is the one — was: if I start pulling on that, they will take the east coast school off the table, and I cannot give him an east coast school, so pulling on it costs him and not me.

That is the reasoning.
