So, long day followed by Mediator session. And since it is mediation I don't have my lawyer completely involved yet. He will review document next week.
There was an issue over a certain $12K and I announced: "Y'know how some people say it's not the money, it's the principle of the thing when it really is the money? Well for me it is the principle and I will end this mediation, leave right now, go see my attorney tomorrow and retain him for $8-$10k just to get that $12k. She backed down on it and on a couple of other things, too, to the tune of another $22k. And, sorry, but Gardener does not want any of her 401k. Oh, and I got the $13,200, too.
At one point (I forget the context), she used that ludicrous spontaneous spooning arousal ruse and mentioned the phrase Sexual Abuse. Boy, did the mediator give me a look for that.
I immediately lied and told STBXW "That's one thing my attorney and I have discussed and if there are any reports, evidence. or hearsay that you used that term in connection with me to anyone, it will be actionable and you will be served so fast you won't know what hit you!"
She was more despicable and disdainful tonight then I've ever seen her. And I drove home in such a state of peace and serenity like I haven't felt in a long time.
Two weeks from today, Wednesday the 23rd at 9:00.
And on the way home I suddenly felt like reading DR again cover to cover. For me. Just me. Good night.
