Not feeling great about this, it’s a step towards divorce.
Often S and even D have to happen to pave the way for recon. The future has not been written yet.

My W has been trying to bait me recently with remarks I think designed to extract a negative reaction from me. No doubt to justify her narrative. I am just brushing them or ignoring them which is not what she would expect.
I would say you are correct and your reaction is perfect.

Any reminders that will serve me well today and in the mediation session?
Be polite and respectful but firm. Do not give concessions simply hoping she will see you in a better light. When LBS's stand up for themselves in S and D proceedings it actually gains them some respect. When they roll over and try to appease their WAS then she has even less respect for him.
