Not quite in midseason form...yet

as hard as this time has been for you,

try to see the mediation as an opportunity too. It is one of many to come, but it's a biggie.


Know what I mean?


Hang in there

I'm definitely trying to look at it as that. I do wonder though how to go about it. For example, since we aren't in the same room, will I ever even get to see her? What can I convey to the mediator to take advantage of the opportunity? Since mediation is essentially us talking about and trying to divide up our stuff and dissolve the marriage, what can I do to not look like the old MTS, display the improved MTS but still give off a vibe of willing to reconcile?

I fully recognize that mediation may be just that and that this thing could be on it's way to being over next week. That being said, there's the other side of that coin too. Just want to take advantage of the opportunity but not really sure how to go about doing so in many respects given the sheer nature of the legality of things.

It's frustrating because on one hand I have to "protect" myself from the worst possible outcome but I still want to do my best not to shut the door on the possibility of us working it out.
