Well, Mikey..

Mediations isn't supposed to be a counseling session. Do you have a lawyer reviewing what's proposed. I figure you keep your eye on the prize. If it doesn't work with mediation, there's always the next step up, then the next step up.

My biggest problem was that I didn't want the marriage to end and it's over for him. It didn't matter that we couldn't communicate, that he'd changed his perspective, that I shut down.

Hello.. reality. Sucks. Guess what? It will be my lemonade stand from now on.
