Traveler, another reminder I talk too much. I love that line, it doesn't work for me. I admit I'm a bit fragile the last few days. Not really DBing, not overtly angry, but saying too much, whilst true, but gets her off. I was going out, but I gave up my evening for her because she wanted to see a friend who was moving interstate, and today was the last day to see her. It's some goodwill for what has been a tough week.
At the end of the day, I think we're both stressed and nervous about mediation. She said to me that using a lawyer for financial settlement is a waste of time because she isn't qualified in Family Law. Apparently STBXW didn't check her bio, 20 years experienced! She then tried to explain that her lawyer will demand that she won't send documents because they were already sent to me (*cough* BS). It's quite amusing. I just answer, "send all documents and questions to my lawyer."
