Grief and Gratitude, Grok

[grok]

Just now W came in with tears and anger. "You know what!" "You think I have options and I don't!" "It's always been about the money with you!" "All those years I struggled with weight and felt fat and ugly... and YOU!" "You know you are on the spectrum!"

I presented myself as calm and collected. I was attempting to listen with focus. I asked what is it? I don't know unless you tell me. I know I could be mildly on the spectrum. I completely deny it is every about the money.

"Think with your HEART for once!" "Where are your emotions?!"

W, Those are ALL there. I have not showed you that part of me since... And I process emotions and logic differently than you. Asynchronous.

She left the way she came.

The only thing I can think of? Today is the 18th. The mediator emailed the draft final settlement on the 11th with an appointment to finalize on the 22nd. I found out today the L I had asked to review could not do it until the 25th. I emailed the mediator and W asking for a delay until after the 25th.

What to do? or do nothing.
