Burning ?s for my W tomorrow:

You wanted to get a mediator to talk about what is best for S16 at this time. What do YOU think is best for S16? (validate) (he has been staying w/her at OM. Another school zone so don't know how he's getting to school, if. No bus service to his school. School has called, emailed me about attendance problems)

How are you getting him to school?

Do you think it's ok for him to be out at 230am?

OM is a convicted drunk driver who was recently incarcerated. Can you understand my resistance to having S ride anywhere with him?

Do you think this sitch will affect S16 long term re:his respect for you, future R and trust w/women, etc.?

What is your intention w/L?

When did u reach this conclusion? (assuming D)

How?

Do you think this will affect kids long term w/ similar issues mentioned above?

Is this what's best for you?

How do u know?

If you could have a crystal ball, se e into the future, and know what option would give everyone the best life, would you choose that option, no matter what it was?

We don't have a crystal ball, but we have examples, history, scripture, wisdom from the ages, that overwhelmingly point to a certain choice, or set of steps. Try it?

The last two rely on logic, which is in short supply. Thoughts from vets or those who know my sitch?
