I got good news today too!
I finally talked to my lawyer. He said I have nothing to worry about tomorrow, that he sees no problems during mediation (just for custody and visitation). He did mention that when David's lawyer first contacted him she was very rude, saying that I was going for full custody and alreayd denying David contact with his son. My lawyer directed her to read the declaration and talk to her client again. She called him the next day apologizing.
I was also able to get answers to my questions. I have been doing my best not to coach Nickolas on what to say. I did tell him that it will be very important for him to tell the truth to the mediator, no matter whose feelings may get hurt. I told him that tomorrow is all about him and what he wants and what needs to be done to help him through all this mess.
I also had another long talk with my mom (who is currently in Fairbanks). She said I was doing a good job at trying not to say too much in front of Nick. She feels that had Nick been spending more time with his dad he would have been heavily coached on what to say.
Since I know that Dawn will be with David tomorrow I already have a game plan. I plan on totally ignoring her, not even look at her or acknowledge her presence. Since she will probably have the baby with her, as a way to needle me, I have been prepping myself for it. My sister will be there with me, and she can be quite intimidating in her own way.
So, tomorrow at 2, please keep us in your thoughts and send us some of that special LoT spiritual mojo.
