Yep, mediation only works if you have 2 that are willing to compromise. And I think it would help if you had a mediator that proposed compromises also. But at least I'm one step closer to the finish line.
I invited H to D9's art exhibit today. They exhibited at the local art museum the best work of the kids that went to art camp this summer. D9 had several of her artworks on the wall; I was very proud.
S15 went with me also (he didn't want to see her play last week or the art today, but I said pick one, so you can show your sister some support.) I had invited H a week ago (when I got the invite in the mail) and then D9 invited him yesterday by email also. He never emailed back and never showed today. D9 seemed ok; I think she mentioned her dad didn't show maybe once. I know he didn't have to work (his office was closed today) so guess he had better plans (in his mind anyway).
I find it hard to believe he wants primary custody of the kids when it's so obvious if he has plans with OW, the kids come 2nd. But you never know I guess. I don't think the legal system is foolproof from what I've seen so far.
For fun today, I colored my hair again, and I'm back to my natural color and maybe a tiny bit darker--now light brown. It's cool-just a fun 180 maybe. I had gone 2 or 3 shades lighter blonde after the bomb, and it's my expression that I'm coming back to myself. Karen
