I left the session extremely agitated and angry with her. As I sit here writing this, that anger has still not subsided. And my biggest problem is that I am caught up in the anger. I can't let it go. I realize that all of these negotiations need to be dealt with unemotionally, as if it were a business. But it's so difficult.
Chris,
I am curious as to why you are angry? She is looking out for her and the kids best interest and staying in the house will be easiest for her.
Behind anger is fear. Are you afraid that you will try to be nice and give her the house?
You should take that as a reminder that starting now you are only agreeing to what is in the best interest for you and the kids.
