That sounds like a very intense process. Somehow I had imagined mediation happening in several sessions. I'm glad you got a fair settlement, but as you say it's a hard thing to celebrate under the circumstances. When children are involved in D, it's hard to feel that anyone is a winner. I feel very sad thinking about your W's distress at the consequences of her own choices -- it seems so wrong that a person could take those steps that affect others' lives without considering those things first. I hope you can take the time that you'll need to process this experience.
