Journaling:

Got a call about an hour ago from what will be our "mediators". A program that we will be able to tap into, which apparently does mediation for the complete S and D, starting with kids.

They go through a questionnaire and some of it is quite... unnerving. Questions about abuse, about who left whom and why... I get that it needs to be so, it's just tough to get into some of the more sordid details. At one point I told the woman "I've said that, but I do not want that on the record. I do not know if I want that fear known, whether real or perceived." She told me the questionnaire is in complete confidence and will not come up in mediation. So I thanked her and said, "then I'm feeling better about my answers and I'll leave them as they stand".

Now we wait... likely 4 months before we start...
