Well, mediation was today. Nothing was accomplished - she refused to compromise on a parenting plan. She was willing to allow me a month with the kids at most "to limit the damage you would do to them." She has convinced herself that all of our oldest son's problems were my fault and the fact that he has improved has nothing to do with him getting older, finally having a separate bedroom, or being able to get more sleep due to a later school start time. Nope - it all has to do with my absence (never mind he keeps asking when I'm coming back).
She said she's discussed the divorce in "general terms" with the kids, and they are all fine with it and think its okay (which means she's said very little and the kids are find because they still think I'm coming back at some point).
Anyway, the mediator had to send back to the judge a report that "nothing was decided" because she refused to allow me any right to any custody at all.
