All signs point to game over!

[Cie la vie]

Hello mntd,

The user name just popped in my head as I was signing up here. It does kind of ground my thinking a bit.

I hear you loud and clear regarding the SIL relationship. I am quite leary of opening up any conversation that could be detrimental to my cause. I work from the premise that everything discussed may ended up in the ear or my W. Even given the fact that the SIL indicated to me that her relationship with my W is hangin by a thread do to the fact that she read my W the riot act about filing for D. All that can turn on a dime however.

We have our first round of Mediation today and a lot of answers about how my W intends to act should be unveiled. I am reminding myself to be cool, calm, collected and confident and avoid adveseral interaction as much as possible.

My mantra is what is best for the kids is best for me. I will repeat through out the process should my W stray toward selfish me first behavior. Which appears to me the hallmark of her current mindset.

I see you are from Colorado. I love your state. I'm a avid Mountaineer/Alpinist and have spent some good times in the Front Range climbing rock and bagging Peaks. The Diamond on Longs Peak is one of my favorites.

Thanks for you input and advice on my sitch. Happy New Year!
