I started to break down for the first time since the separation while I was in my IC session today. I was speaking with my therapist and she asked me what I would say to W since I had iterated it was pointless to discuss anything with her because she didn't have remorse or thoughts of anyone but herself.
I tried to start the hypothetical conversation several times but failed... then ended up discussing how this was going to affect my children. Then I just stopped talking and had to compose myself. My eyes welled up a bit, but I managed to hold it back and get things back under control. I am human at least...
I'm not certain what road things are taking... we are around 18 days from the trial date the judge set. We are 6 days from W's last deposition date. If she skips this one I'm just going to focus on filing a request for admissions because that would at least give them a time limit (30 days) to get discovery information in order or else the items in the request for admissions would be deemed "admitted."
Everything seems to be going my way... but in the end the court process is fairly impotent at first. I imagine the next week will set the tone. I want to get things in front of the judge a.s.a.p. despite my lawyer's objections. We aren't doing the discovery footsy dance indefinitely.
