Oh, Butterc! Start researching D laws in your area. Talk to your L. Don't react too much to what's in the petition...often its the L's twist on H's ideas. You have more power than you think. Maybe mediation can help?
My H told his L he wanted it to be the nicest D she'd ever done (his explanation to me). He also said he asked for mediation because he thought it would be the two of us at a table working with the mediator. He encouraged me to call his L to ask questions, so I asked her about how mediation would go. She told me she would be in a room with H, and I would be in a separate room alone, and the mediator would go back and forth! I told her that sounds pretty lopsided,; guess I need my own L and she said yes! When I told H he was floored. That's not what he wanted. Anyway, B. Ls are by nature manipulative. She wanted me to L up. More hours for her to bill. Keep fighting for what you believe in. Keep your faith in what you know and don't be too surprised by the BS you encounter along the way.
