Received the following from my W.

"What time is mediation tomorrow. If I had a choice I would not like (S12) to have divorced parents at his bar mitzvah. I don't think that is fair to him or you. I would like to be able to work on this bar mitzvah with you but I think we should still meet with the mediator to find out what's involved and what we need to do. Please write back.

So thoughtful of her (sarcasm intended). She wants to "work" with me, but not be married to me. I am just going with the flow. I wrote back the time and location for our mediation appt.

Please, if anyone has advice going into my first mediation appointment? I am so nervous about it. Also, as I asked above, does anyone have any suggestion about what to do when my Ws birthday rolls around? It is in 2 weeks.
