There will be time. How long before you have to sign and return? Heck, I havent received papers yet and I have my first mediation next Thursday.
The mediator told me that she has personally witnessed several couples R during the process- she said its a wake up call.
dont point out changes youve made to her. She needs to recognize them herself but understand, you a VERY new to this. My W is still in the fog and im going a year- many on here have gone MUCH longer.
Stay focused on you- Its the only change you can effectively make right now....Have you tried going to a 12 step? I understand your not a raging alcoholic but seeing others much worse off then you right now may help with perspective.
