Yes, I had that phone call with an attorney’s office just an hour ago and he is emailing contract stuff for a retainer for mediation. When this falls through in October, and I’m pretty sure it will, I will have all the paperwork ready to go.
And yes, it’s hard to swallow the promises at this point. I’ve prepped the kids, (Dad and I are having some pretty significant problems, we are really trying to work them out. We love you both, nothing will change that, not your fault, yada yada.) and they’re ready if this happens.
I think I’m a slow to adopt change person, but once it happens, I’m there. Almost there….. just tidying up some messes I have.
He is competing against me enjoying solitude. And frankly, that’s pretty fucking hard to beat. I’m great company.
