A, I know what you mean and I did sound like I was taking it as a criticism. The problem however is that while she's validated me (sort of) by saying that she was much better she avoided the actual issue altogether. Just because a 6yo kid was happy at the very moment she walked in doesn't mean the kid isn't suffering from all this crap. I guess she won't see that or take any responsibility for it.

As for mediation, that would be my preference too but what am I supposed to do short of begging her? Calling her is going to be awkward because she doesn't want to talk about any of this. Remember she didn't even tell me that she filed for D. She hasn't still said a word to me about it yet she'll talk about the non-chalant stuff. Our communication has really gone into the toilet especially when it comes to these uncomfortable things.

I'm willing to do what you're saying I just don't know how and where to even start.
