Following up on my W email, i'm proposing the following:
Dear W,
I agree that for the benefit of reducing costs it will be good to minimise any outside involvement. As much as i don't want any of this, i know that you do and will not stand in your way. To that end, in reality sadly, our previous chat resulted in a different take on the conversation being taken and i want to ensure that we are clearly in agreement over next steps. In this case i think we will benefit more from having joint mediation first, in order that we have a framework to work with and perhaps if i can be sure there is no misinterpretation, then we can chat and move forward. In the meantime any discussion on this matter, i think best to keep on e-mail.

Looking for crtique here, i believe this conveys a willingness to discuss but ensure that my boundaries remain intact and that there is no room for any misinterpretation. My W has form on this! Also whilst she is driving this process, i want to ensure that i'm standing up for myself. (A major 180 for me, as i used to bow down to her requests - a NGS trait!)
