I am LIVID. Like so mad, I am sitting in the parking lot waiting to drive home mad.
Just walked out of a CONSULT with a mediator. The guy was a thick gold chained wearing a...h....
So basically, he's asking a lot of questions and I haven't agreed to his services yet, so I said to him politely, that I was hoping to just get some information about the mediation process at this point. (I am not looking to waste my time, and give out my information when this is just an unpaid consult. I did not say this)
So he started talking and repeating himself over and over about some 65 page packet that's costs 7000 vs his packet that costs a lot less..and then starts asking me if I love my son? WTF??? And why would I allow a judge to make a decision about my son?
And then drilling me about something else I can't remember. I said "I'm not sure yet" and he kept asking me "why are you not sure yet. Why are you not sure yet." At this point I said to him "right now this isn't about me or what I want to do, it's about whether I want to use your services...and I dont. I'm leaving"
It was insane. And my husband sat there all polite and stayed and talked to him after I left. This guy was using bullying tactics that I find ignorant assholes like to use on people that are uneducated.
Seriously. I don't expect this type of treatment from a professional! This is supposed to be a collaborative process. Not some m fr trying to proove to everyone in the room that he's got the biggest pair.
My husband just texted me and apologized. He agreed, so it's not just me. But you know something? He didn't walk out with me. Not that I expected him to.
