Overall, a great update! I can really feel your detachment growing vs. prior messages from you. I love that you're shopping around for lawyers and trying to achieve a work/life situation that works for you. LH pointed out a couple of behaviors I'm sure jumped out to most readers.

Telling others what to do is controlling. We're all works in progress. Be wary anytime you're telling someone what to do unless they're your subordinate or kid. Your kid is 2. At that age it's usually acceptable to tell them what to do, lol. Subordinates, even, it's worth a little thought unless they're unskilled labor.
