The important point in this latest exchange is that she is saying I am the one who is costing the both of us and our children so much in money, time and resources because I refuse to go along with being railroaded by her and her obviously-biased mediator. It's like she's saying, "Shame on you, NCB, for not rolling over and dieing like you were supposed to do. Look at how that is robbing our poor innocent boys of what they could have had. How dare you defend yourself!" All the while shedding her crocodile tears.
My X said numerous times how it was my fault we were spending so much on lawyers, that I apparently wanted to go to court. HE was the one who filed for custody after I gave him a settlement agreement. I only filed for divorce as a response to his filing. Yet he continued to insist that I was forcing the issue into court. He was nuts!!!!!! Well.....I guess he still is. He still pisses and moans about the agreement we ended up signing....the agreement HIS attorney drafted and advised him to sign. Yep, they really loose all touch with reality, and it really pisses the WAS off when we don't meekly comply with all of their demands!!!
