AJ, I just don't want to make any more mistakes and fuel the animosity between us. I feel like I have been patient, kind and reasonable and all that has gotten me is more of the same. My heart can't take the spewing anymore. I want to have courageous conversations, but I don't want to open myself up to more blame and baseless accusations. I'm not kidding when I say we need a therapist to settle things between us. The attorneys just make it worse. My H is hiding like a child behind his.
I'm just overwhelmed. I want to do the right thing. I really do. But what is that? My H isn't meeting me half way. Even my attorney feels that we are going to need to hire a mediator and have a five-way negotiation since H and his attorney have been so detrimental to the process. This is coming from someone who claims that settlement is her strength and has a good track record. So now what?
