My husband (SNL) and I, had mediation today at my lawyers office. So many issues to talk about, and SNL is absolutely set on me paying the rest of my medical expenses that occurred because of his anger of pulling and dragging me. Rotator cuff surgery, and rehab. I am to have another injection on the trigger point Friday. And I am thinking of canceling this appointment, and just dealing with what I have, the way it is. No insurance to cover this surgery, as yet. SNL has been saying for quite a long time that he is seeing about extending the insurnace. Otherwise, I will have to pay for it.

I talked to my lawyer after, about another issue, and the lawyer is going to bring this up to his lawyer.

I found out what SNL is like today, once again. I revert back to thinking that SNL was caring, and is thoughtful. But today, he had to be told by his lawyer to be quiet, to not interfere in someone elses conversation, to listen and wait his turn. That is something that he is not good at, is waiting for his turn to talk.

I was polite and waited, and didn't interfere with his conversation. I raised my hand to ask a question.

But as I can see, very little was settled with mediation. I kind of think it was a waste of time. I am upset that my hsuband does not feel responsiblity towards injurying me, and taking care of the medical bills. He has not had to suffer the pain, I have had for almost 1 year.

Maybe taking him to trial is the only option now. We talked about it.

I thought that today with mediation, we would walk out with a plan, and beable to get this divorce over next week. Now looks like it is going to be drawn out again.

Today didn't turn out to be very helpful, just more of the continuing control and manipulation, of SNL. Sorry, for him that he has to get so angry like this. Anyways, going to a meeting.

I had mediation 2 weeks ago, first time I had seen wife of 16 years in 2 months, (r/o), she didn't even look at me, it was like I was invisisble.
Talked seperately with mediator, I just wanted time with my kids and ability to go to their schools just as before, I get kids 1 time a week for 4 hrs and everyother weekend, I go days without being able to talk to my daughters on the phone, and I have to meet kids and grandpa at neutral dropoff site, ( I was stay at home dad for 8 years and primary parent for 9 years ).
Our mediator told me we were too far apart to mediate..................
I just want to have equal access to kids........
My wife says she is the one that was willing to mediate that I wasn't.
Wife says she is bending over backwards for me to see kids (ha ha ha hardy ha ha).
Nothing changed for wife, she still works, has somebody to watch the kids (parents) doesn't take or pick them up from school, gets to see her boyfriend even more (not hiding him now), sees the kids the same as before.
Oh and I'm the one who wouldn't mediate............right..................................................did I mention it is her birthday..........................
so I guess she is having her cake and eating it too...........again..........................
