So, we had our second mediation appointment today. Custody and long-term visitation agreement reached. I'm not in love w/the agreement, but I am not going to complain either.
There is nothing worse than sitting in the same room as your STBX, discussing your kids, and their needs, when you just want to pop his eyes out! Either that, or puke from seeing his ugly face! ICK! Gosh, it really is amazing how DONE you can become.
BUT, I sucked it up for my boys, was rational, calm, smiling even... While he pitched fits... But, hey, we got it done!
This was THE most important part of the negotiations. The financial stuff is important for our well-being, but knowing my boys and their time w/each of us is settled, is MOST important, and I can sleep well.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
