Hope is the thing with feathers....

Bridge,
Glad you had/are having a good Mediator experience. Before mine melted down and I called the whole thing off the day before D (which was to have been today) I used to look at her (mediator) when stbxw and I hit an impasse or even just a minor sticking point while mediator just sat there and watched and I'd eventually say, "Well? Mediate!"

Exhausting. Frustrating.
