The mediation is next Wednesday. My W has gone seriously dark now. I have to admit, I'm anxious about all this, but I had to do something to shake things up.
Here are other things I'd LIKE to say. I welcome opinions on whether they would be beneficial:
* If my W gives some BS like "You said it's over, so it's over" I'd like to reply with "W, you've given no indication you're interested in saving our M, so yes, I'm done. We're not divorced yet though. If I'm wrong in my impression about what you want, be my guest to try to change my mind." If she sticks to her guns and says "No, no. You said you're done, so that's it" then I come back with "That's what I thought. You're all talk and no action."
* If my W acts all self pitying, I like to say "W, give me a break. Poor you. You can't be with your boyfriend. Your husband doesn't want you anymore. You don't have any money. You only see your kids half the time. You don't know where you'll get health insurance. All direct results of decisions you've made, so spare me the self pity."
