Thanks all. To clarify, my argument is not "her family is rich" but rather "she might legally own part of her parents' assets". The mediator will certainly suggest that WW disclose all her assets (no obligation in mediation). I just dread being the one calling her on it, especially if she denies it until I have to find some way for her to disclose it all. Her parents are not going to like it either. But we're not there yet.
I feel this is the end of DBing. For the longest time, I couldn't hide my pain from her, except by hiding myself. Now, I can't hide my anger and I have to face her in mediation. It has resurfaced in the last 2-3 weeks. I can't quite think of a way to approach this whole thing in a jovial too-bad-but-let's-do-it way. And her habit of minimizing the consequences of D while I wrinkle in a puddle of my own tears for the last nine months, while my livelihood is at stake because I can't work, losing me tens of thousands of dollars already, while I need some visitation time to see my kids on fathers' day — well, you get the picture. Meanwhile, she's going abroad for vacations five times in a year, brags about not crying about the S, complains about money, goes after our common dreams without me, and plays family with my kids and OM.
I mean, what more can I do than try to say as little as possible?
