NLW, your mediation experience is what I anticipate will happen. After all, my xh has done no personal growth as far as I can tell. He's always stormed out of a room, hung up the phone or resorted to put downs when I feel differently then he does. Going the legal route I will get something resembling fair, but going into mediation I will have to give something up. As it stands, xh has everything to gain in mediation. Anything he can get me to agree to is better then he will get in court. I just want to be done with this and was hoping mediation was the answer, but seeing how xh was creating his list of demands I quickly realized that it will be a waste of time. He won't be able to cope and complete the process. After all, he did leave me without a moments notice due to lack of coping skills. What was I thinking?
