Met with the mediator yesterday and got the final report of the parental agreement (aka Custody arrangements). The ex tried to pull some last minute bs and was promptly put in his place (the mediator told him he needs to remember that everything can't be what he wants, that my needs are just as valid and that I've been very patient and extremely accommodating and if he keeps this up I could just throw in the towel, say screw it and take him to court). Can I say how much I loved the mediator?
So that's a huge thing I don't have to worry about anymore. Now it just has to be put into legal-eez and he can't change anything without the consent of the mediator and myself.
I feel empathy for you, CG.
I can not imagine where I would be in this situation. (probably in jail and everyone around me would hurt worse because of me.)
I am planting a tiny plant for you (I was planting trees and shrubs already, but my best female holly (the females are the fruit bearers), I am naming for your screenname and I plan to place a Celtic-style rune pattern around it in rock after I find the best place for it.), in hopes that it does well and outlives us all by a century.
I wish you courage.
