Sitch update:
Sent the parenting plan and settlement offer back to my atty.
She'll send it to W's atty and we'll go from there.
Have mediation scheduled for 4/21.
I don't think we'll have things wrapped by then to avoid it.
But I'm hoping we can go in there and leave within minutes.

Went to confession last night.
Had to confess my fantasies about bad things happenting to OM,
you know, like seeing him through crosshairs!
Fr. said I need to pray for the power to forgive - everyone.
That's going to be a tough sell, even though MWD
says forgiveness is a gift we give to ourselves.

But as I was meditating after completing my penance,
I got a clear notion that W is not going to come through
her journey avoiding any consequences and bumps in the road.

The thought occurred to me:
"When you open a can of worms, you're going to get worms."

Then I began to feel a little sorry for her.
Trying to not even think about OM at all.
That's all I can manage for not - baby steps.
