Well, had 2nd session today, but it is more counseling than mediation and I am not sure that that is really where we are.

H says:

-C is more sympathetic to me because she is woman.
-C asking him to repeat what I said (to show that he heard and understood) was insulting.
-H does not want to continue because it is bad for his health.
-Does not want to bring up the past.
-H will look into LS.

I have DB session on Saturday.

What I am hearing: H absolutely DOES NOT want to examine his role in the situation.

H says his parents are coming to help him. Whatever. I am not sure I want to go to Maine to visit his grandmother w/D1. It is just going to be too difficult and emotionally taxing.

It seemed like we were making a little progress and the topic of mediation only made things worse.
