Big column of warm light covering you like a friendly searchlight today, CB.
You are safe and you are not alone and you have a host of invisible supporters in that room.

Love to you and don't yield. You are fundamentally stronger than he is, he just doesn't know it yet.

You are on the side of love.

It is so comforting to have you here. Best wishes for a smooth-as-can-be day and may it all pass as uneventfully as possible. Will keep you in my thoguhts and prayers.
Love, Beth

Sending positive energy, CB.

But, by now, the mediation probably already occured.  How'd it go??

So glad to hear you feel much, much more grounded and centered and you know what?  YOU ARE!!!  You've come a LOOOOOONG way.  You're a different person, CB.  You have grown heaps.

Job very, very well done CB.

By the way, love what you posted about anger on Izzy's thread:  If anger is disproportionate to the event that angered us, then trace the anger back to the event which made us angry.  Right?

love,

Don't worry. Everything will be okay. You'll feel better once you get some rest. You've crossed a major milestone. We're all here with you.  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

CB - I am so glad for you that it is over for today.  I will continue to pray that he signs the agreement. 

I am so proud of you on many levels.  I am proud that you had the fortitude to make the needed compromise in spite of your "non-negotiable" preference.  Too many times in my life I bit off my nose in spite of my face in order to "Stand on Principles".  In hindsight I would undo each and every "stand on principle" as to a one I paid the price. 

Of course you feel betrayed by the system. How appalling that a man who makes good money is able to take part of your one financial asset. Something that would have been yours had you never married him. And I am astonished that, despite the number of years of the marriage, the years of alimoney are limit to 3.  Ironically that works against women staying home to care for children.  How unbelieveable that no job training or anything else is required of a man whose wife always stayed home.  But I love what the mediator said, "you are going to be rich when this is over simply because you are going to be free of him."  What comfort! What pearls of wisdom! What affirmation and confirmation!

"The mediator felt that H's insistence on standard visitation was a control issue and that as soon as it was over, he would lose interest.  That rang true to me."
I know it was hard to give on this one especially but I am sure that you and the mediator have his number on this one.  Do your best to never let him know that anything he does with the children bothers you.  Even when he is the most officious about something with the children - never let him see you sweat.  Wait until your door closes or the phone call ends. Because the less concern and care you display the less interest he will display.  You can bet that he will test you!! But he is like a big child - pretend to ignore his offensive behavior and be consistent over the long haul.

You have come so very far in such a short time.  If you are worn out emotionally and physically, it is no wonder.  You have been through hell.  Be gentle and kind on yourself.  Give yourself (figruative) hospital time to recuperate.  Do what you have to for yourself and your children and let the rest go until you build your strength back.

I am so very proud of you.  I wish you could see yourself from my perspective.  You would be dancing a jig in celebration of your remarkable resiliancy.  My thoughts and prayers are still with you for a speedy end to the legal wranglings. - Gaining Strength
