My L thinks I should just go for full custody and the whole shooting match. She really is sick of STBXW's antics. As for what's reasonable and the hill worth dying for, my L was the one that brought up the issues in the first place because the mediator did not address them.
I think we had a bum mediator myself. The mediation felt a little skewed in STBXW's favor if you ask me.
I had a good holiday with D1. STBXW called and was mad that I was not returning her calls. She wanted to talk to D1 because she missed her, but everytime STBXW calls, D1 cries for a half hour later because she wants to see her mother. STBXW can't seem to understand that using D1 for her own emotional needs is not healthy. I understand where STBXW is coming from, but I have to deal with the aftermath.
Of course, I called STBXW back and had D1 "talk" to her. It just seems like STBXW is using anything she can to contact me several times a day and at the most inconvenient times.
Tomorrow we have a scheduling conference for the big D. STBXW has refused to sign the stipulation. My L is telling me to wait it out and asked her L to explain the situation fully to STBXW as her L has not really explained anything to her. I think my L is hoping that STBXW would accept it as I really could have her over a barrel if I really wanted to, and she should just cut her losses.
Soon the divorce will be done, but it really means nothing, as STBXW will not change her behavior nor interaction with me.
As for me, I am going to withdraw for awhile. I will still post, but as for going out, I just don't feel like it.
