Yeah, the whole mediation thing was a joke too when my ex's OM and his wife wanted to go through it. Its kinda funny because I led my ex down the path and let her thing mediation would be the route and and I had already retained an attorney to get the best deal possible for me. Bottom line, I may not have handled it and her with kid gloves exactly but I did follow my attorny's advice to the T. He said look, no amount of being nice by you is going to change the fact that she wants a divorce and seems pretty determined to get it. Being nice and gracious and generous is just going to make you PO'd at her and and yourself later and all you will hav is less of what you worked hard to get over the years--but you'll most likely still be divorced. He said I have done 2500 divorces and I see it and hear it all and I am not going to be your counselor or anything but I think I probably am more qualified at this point than many who claim to be counselors. He said she is in a zone where you can't touch her, see her, or anything else and she wants away from you and feels a little guilty about messing up you life--just a small amount-but a lot guilty about messing up your kids. Take advantage of the guilt and get this thing done in a way that's good for you. You can always go back and remarry later after you have protected yourself and your kids.


It gets better-trust me!

Take care,
Scott
