D1 was sitting in her high chair eating a biscuit with bacon this morning... naturally as soon as she sees me she starts throwing her food and reaching out to me. I wiped her off with a wet rag and picked her up to go play in the nursery. She grabbed hold of my finger and pulled me along through the room saying "DA DA" and giggling.
I'm going to meet with my lawyers today to discuss the upcoming PsyEval hearing as well as my long-term strategic goals.
When you get into contested litigation with someone displaying traits of a personality disorder the war analogy actually does seem to fit like a glove. I'm thinking in terms of tactical and strategic goals, and my long-term plan is sound thus far. I've also got a pretty good idea of my weak points and where she plans to attack me, though how successful that is remains to be seen.
I guess the positive thing is that I'm not playing on defense currently - and by having the fault ground evidence they will be hesitant to engage me too hard for fear of being unable to reach a negotiated settlement - which I don't think is a possibility at the moment. This is W's popularity contest... she has to "prove" that I'm a jerk and be validated by the guy in the robe to feel successful, no matter how much $$$ is flushed down the drain. She can always take heart that it is my fault I suppose, at least in her mind.
