Well, even though there was no progress this weekend, there at least seems to be a change in attitude. Since W did not raise R talk over the weekend, I sent her an email to firm up the Mediation dates- her response was "I want to talk. I want to turn this mess that I caused around." Then she offered up tomorrow evening. Maybe she's actually ready to own her part of this- we will see.

Last week W's divorced sister lost custody of her kid to her ex-Husband (her D was 10 years ago), and the same week her sister also broke up with her long term boyfriend. Not mindreading, but I am betting that her sister's sitch may help drive W to see how lousy D life can be and do what she needs to do to save our M.

Off to practice my considerate, non-hardass listening mode for tomorrow's conversation- as long as she doesn't insist on "the A ended a long time ago" I think we will have a shot. Not planning on doing much talking, mostly listening and communicating Starsky's " I wish I could believe that and I need some time to think about it"
