Also I didn't mean to say we couldn't work it out on our own. I believe we can, but she doesn't. If MC will make her feel more comfortable, then I'm willing to give it a go.

As I mentioned before we're going to have our R talk tomorrow. I know she's going to bring it on, but I want to make sure I don't feed her fire. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't bring up any gripes I have correct?

There's allot of things she's done throughout this that has bothered me, to include leaving. My D14 says she feels my W has abandoned them. That's her feeling not something I've implanted. I've tried to tell her that mom just needs some time to herself and not something she's done.

I suppose I need to remember to validate things, but stay firm and call B.S. Should I leave my issues with her to myself? I'm looking forward to this because things will finally be in the open, but this is where it will all begin.

Any other advice I should keep in mind? Also we haven't settled on a place to do this. Should we choose a place she can yell if necessary or make sure she can't? She will also need somewhere to cry if need be as well. Any help would be great.
