Avoiding mediation can be a good thing. I had to pony half the costs of fees involved. I honestly felt it was $300.00 well spent as it really showed just how fair my offers had been.
Good on you to avoid that part of the process. It sounds like she had a moment of lucidity... or her attorney did. I think you did well to weigh everything and accept her offer.
I like that you adopted the mantra of class, honor, and dignity. It seems to fit you well. I am glad to hear that you are still sober. That is just freaking awesome.
You will get through this. You will be a better man.
