For the past few weeks I have been determined, focussed and resilient to see this process through to the end, whatever the end is.

Last week I started this post titled "It's Not Over 'Till It's Over".

This last few days with discussions of mediation, court action & dividing finances & the marital home, it has really started to take it's toll on me.

I feel very stressed with it all.

My wife seems so wrapped up in the whole process and ploughing ahead with her blinkers on, taking advice from friends and family, that she isn't stopping to look up and contemplate what the consequences of her actions might be.

She seems absolutely certain and firmly routed in her stance that this is completely over.

I am starting to wonder if my situation might actually be totally hopeless.

It is also extremely difficult to go through this process and protect myself without causing conflict and tension.
