Had another talk with him, actually feel better, though I fear I'll get a reality check once we go to the mediator and we get down to business. I should enjoy my innocence while I have it, lol.
I never had to do mediation, but XH and I did meet with L together a couple of times and I was as giddy as a school girl...held my head high and cracked jokes through the whole meeting. It made me feel good when I walked out of there knowing that he didn't get the best of me. Well, ok, he did sometimes, but I didn't let him know that, I only let you guys in on that little secret I agree with punkt that research is your best weapon. This is something none of us obviously want, but going into it with the knowledge will not only get you what you deserve, but will keep you focused on YOU.
