Cat, thanks for the heads up on the mediation process. Part of me is still scared to get D. Even though I know I will be better off, it is still the death of the dream I had of my future. In time, that too will pass.

I'm wondering if we are going to be able to work things out that quickly because there are a few issues that I will not back down on when it comes to dividing up our assets and debts and custody arrangements. At least I prepares him for the indefinate maintenance so he will have time to get ok with it before it comes up. Also, our house is up for sale at the moment. It is financially draining us. Can the D be completed as long as we still own the house? He will not be able to pay me any support as long as it has not sold. I've been wondering about that.

Anyway, thank you for the hugs. I'm sure going to need them with what is to come. I just try to tell myself that this trial in my life is preparing me for something better.

Any recomendations on mediation books?
