R2C,

I appreciate you looking out. You're right. The only purpose to going is to listen to what she has to say, which I don't know what she hopes to communicate/gain. I have nothing to gain from this and I have nothing I need to communicate to her. The reason I'm going is two-fold; one, and this is just me being blatantly honest, I'm curious as to what she has to say; two, she sounded really messed up on the phone - not something I need for the person caring for my kids 50% of the time - hopefully this opportunity will let her bury whatever hatchet she needs to be better, but I'm actively not placing expectations on it. I hope that I am the exception on this forum and I feel confident that I won't need to post a regretful update. We'll see.

Ovr,

Those are some bold assumptions, some of which contradict what I've communicated on this forum. I appreciate your assertiveness, though I disagree with cancelling at this point - I don't think that is attractive or strong; besides, my sock drawer is on point lol.

Yail,

I appreciate the support. There are some good questions in there for reflection. As for that last question - We could both be hurt. I won't sugarcoat it, even though I feel detached, I'm sure she could find something to hurt me. Conversely, if she is expecting a particular reaction or response, she likely won't get it. If I've learned anything from all of this, having expectations can definitely hurt you.
