Thanks everyone! I'm glad to hear your advice & opinions. I felt horrible after yesterday. Apparently it was obvious to the mediator that his motivations are financial, but she felt well that's to be expected b/c we have the 2 households. I'm guessing some people (most Ls maybe) make decisions for their kids based on $$$, I'd like not to think most, and I don't think they can even begin to understand someone that doesn't consider $$$ but just what's good for the kids. Their dad has been a mostly absent parent just spending a few hours with them a week for the past 15 years, and to change that completely for $$$ reasons. Seems insanity to me. I guess I will try to have an easy day today. S15 and I are going to the therapist tomorrow am so that's probably good. I've been doing chocolate therapy, but that's prob. not the best.
BTW, I'm glad I wore the red dress yesterday. It's conservative, but looks good, and I wore it at the grocery store after, and it's funny how all the men were diving to open the doors for me or give me a shopping cart, etc. In my plain mom clothes, that doesn't happen so much!
Thanks for calling to check on me last night, Kat. I was so upset left the phone in the car again! D9 scolded me over that this am. Karen
