GAL Man, I'm not sure how I feel. Part of me is relieved, part of me is very sad and part of me feels like a real loser for not being able to hold together another relationship.
I contacted the local family law office to set up an appointment with a mediator, then e-mailed W with some tentative dates. We went back and forth with days and times; didn't set anything up yet due to scheduling conflicts.
I asked W why she was so agreeable to D now when only two weeks ago she asked me to not rush things. She replied that was before we had our e-mail fight last Monday.
I said I did not think it was a fight, but a discussion. I again told her I was sorry about her deteriorating relationship with her oldest son, but that I had no hand in it.
She replied she knew that, but when she was venting to me I took it personally. And that it didn't matter any more.
So we wait to agree on a time to meet the mediator and go from there. I think now that W is in a PA with the OM she is going to put the pedal to the metal.
