Spent a big chunk of the day going back, listening to recorded phone calls. That wasn't a great idea, but I was doing it to get ready for mediation tomorrow.

W talking about OM: "I'm not trying to replace you. OM isn't interested in replacing you as S's dad. He doesn't want anything to do with S."

Same call: "I'm still with OM, and one day that will end. But you need to respect it and don't try to mess it up."

Same call: "It makes sense for S to live with you right now."

Same call: "If S doesn't live with me, that's like losing part of my identity."

Same call: "If I were to come back, I have a lot of friends that when I'm around I couldn't look myself in the eye."


I ended up having bad dreams last night after going through all of those calls. And I'm upset again today. But it'll be fine.

Mediation is tomorrow.
