Well, the cat's out of the bag. Xh's antics today triggered a response from me that I wish I would have had the courage to send months ago. He now knows that I have prepared a very damaging paper trail. I feel such relief. He would be incredibly foolish to not walk away and hope that what I have never makes it into a courtroom.
I realize that my suggestion to mediate was fear-based. Even though I feel very confident heading to trial it's not the experience I want to have. However, if I don't proceed than I will further enable xh and his behavior which has been incredibly devastating, both emotionally and financially. Avoiding the scary path at all costs has been my mo. I'm not going to do that anymore.
