I will continue with my GAL and do what I am doing. She is on it today, texting me what day we can do the mediation appointment. Responded and we will see. She still has done zero on the paperwork side.
Her first place she called had June 12th open. She said she is going to look for one to get us in sooner. She is VERY pressed within herself presently and I agree with you she is struggling to get to where she has decided she wants to be despite her glancing/looking back. With the kids out for summer, it is going to be a little more difficult for her to have her space at home and the crowding will not allow her to escape into her fantasy world too well. I almost welcome the escalation as it means she still has very strong feeling. These feelings may be very bad at the moment, but strong.
I have read through your posts and appreciate the insight on your own situation. Your struggle is real and I am wishing all the best for you as you both are moving forward.
Just an fyi on my W. She is very anti religious. Her parents, F alcoholic abuser, M alcoholic enabler, but they shoved it down her throat so she rebelled very early. She is "spiritual" and believes in a higher power, she just turns off when it comes to Christianity and organized religion. A few of the books we used prior were Christian based and that really made her turn her head and kept her from focusing on our MR instead of the bad feelings about religion. Not giving up on that one, but that is a fight for another day down the road.
It always saddens me when someone takes things their parents or others did to them and blames Christ for it. Oh well, this is why we are warned to avoid being a stumbling block...........
