Alex, I am sorry you are moving so quickly along to the mediation track. I will watch with interest as I am there too (though not so quickly as it has been 2 yrs since the bomb). I admire that you are able to relate to your w without resorting to making her feel guilty about leaving or telling her that she is making a BIG mistake. Now that is something I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut about.
The anniversary dates are hard. At least you did get an acknowledgemt of the date from your w, if belated. It may not be a baby step towards reconcilliation but it is nice in its way and certainly better than the hate-filled stuff that some of our friends here are subjected to.
I wish you the best, and all the peace that may come to you thru this process. xxx Amy
