Just keep swimming in a new direction

[tl2]

I would be prepared for anything as far as the meetup.

If it's about the OP I would stick to the court decision for now as that is a more objective, external source and you can simply say you agree with the court, but are willing to re-evaluate in 6 months or something.

I know it's hard to be prepared but also not to assume the worst in advance. But that will just put added stress on you.
