WW wants to start mediation. To pick up a mediator, she called three and the only one that picked up the phone became her choice. I asked her to do a better screening. She just wrote back, a week later, saying that one gave her boilerplate info by email, another didn't pick up and she didn't have time to call the third. She asks me what I think.
What I think is that she didn't make any progress and she still thinks it's no big deal. She treats this the way she treats the whole S, including the impact on the kids: let's just get it done.
So, do I tell her that it's fine, she tried and we'll pick her choice? Do I tell her that her research this week didn't make a difference? Anyone had a bad experience with a bad mediator? The one thing I do NOT want to do is to take over the process. It's her D and I'm going along, protecting my interests and those of my kids. But I'm not doing the heavy lifting for her.
