"I don't know what you mean by saying She is doing what she said she was going to do"
She told you that she was going to proceed with the D and that's what she's doing. The timing of it might suck, but in her mind she's just taking care of business.
"now I have to transition into prodecting myself without seeming combative."
Finally! That's why I always have to stress how important it is to know your rights. You never know what your WAS will pull. Just to let you know...whatever your counter proposal is to her she will get upset. It's a rarity when this doesn't happen. Anything that doesn't fit into their grand plan they tend to get upset at.
Don't let it shake you. Stick to your guns. Good luck.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
