I just spoke to the DB coach last week. We agreed that I need to try to be more civil to my W. I think I am getting the hang of it this weekend. When I think of how I've been all these years, I see my W in a more sympathetic light and that helps a bit. I guess I can thank you folks for that. I feel like I am stuck in a pendulum where I swing back and forth blaming my W to blaming myself.
Aside from that, we are having our first meeting with the mediator on 12/4. I am dreading it. I just have to go with the flow for now I guess. As far as solution-oriented goals, I don't have much. We are moving in a direction, just not in the direction I wanted.
We are actually going to a scholarship dinner tomorrow night. I guess it is sort of a date. Any ideas how to capitalize on this? RAI PS thanks for the kick in the pants
