Hello Everyone,
It took me a day to digest the session yesterday and more time to digest the aftermath today. Basically, he was completely belligerent and hostile not only to me, but also to the female mediator. Making all sorts of since comments about money and just nasty--just like his crazy pants mother--nasty. The long and short of it was that i agreed to mediate for the time being, and to schedule another session in two weeks if he agreed to go with me to our marriage counselor to help me understand why he was seeking divorce.
I am just glad that she managed to get him to concede to doing something that I asked. He kicked and screamed and condescended and was as combative as he could be, but he did agree to it.
I tried to stay calm and imagine a line of all my friends here on DB standing behind me. I just tried to stay calm and composed---it was hard seeing him though. I started to feel a little more relaxed last night because I could tell that the person I was looking at was not my loving husband but some zombie freak version of him. As to be expected he was acting like he was high on pills and pot and slumped over in his chair.
Today, in planning the meeting with the counselor--he flipped again. He has been cheery and generous over email today--offering to pay off the credit card and keep me on the insurance. even was cracking jokes and saying See you Monday! I guess this is all just more evidence of his personality disorder but man is it confusing. I guess I should expect that the next time I see him he will be terrible again. He seems to flip every time--from goddawful rotten to decent and almost loving. A real mind f***.
Gmum---how did yours go?
