The intro to her email stated she wanted to schedule a free consult with this mediation group in Dec and would like me to attend. I have not replied and don't plan to at the moment. She asked me this morning when she called the girls if I got her email. I answered that I didn't want to discuss it right now, I'm driving our kids to school.
I think I got 2 hours sleep last night, maybe.
This is not the life I wanted for my girls.
Do not give up no matter how dark it gets or hopeless it seems, right?
Mine did the same ... booked the scheduled meeting, I just told her it was not what I wanted and went along with my day. When the scheduled date came up .. I was there on time. We went in and talked about what they had to say. I can not speak for W ... but it just felt like a Divorce Drive Thru. Oh and the fact they have Plan A, B and C depending on how much you have to split up, or how many hours they think it will take to get to an agreement.
After my W stopped me in the parking lot and asked me what I thought, I kindly said I thought I was hungry and knew S was, so I am going to take him out to dinner. Oh .. about the meeting ... not what I want and I do not want this ... it has not been brought up since. Granted the $$ aspect helped .. plus the fact she did some research and realized the amount I give her currently would drop significantly if we were to D or Mediate.
You have good advice ... don't take the bait ... stay the course.
