"I am considering having someone come with me to mediation next week. He really beat me up today. I don't know if he would try the same thing in front of someone else we both know."
Donna,
I've never heard of this. But, it sounds like an interesting and very smart idea. I can't seem to think of any down side. Would they allow it?
If so, and contrary to the stuff I keep saying about MIL, maybe MIL or FIL would be someone to bring? It could help with keeping H accountable to your nuclear family and his larger family.
Or, were you thinking of bringing a L? That might work too.
