I'm relatively new to this forum, and I'm not sure if this is the place to be asking this stuff . . .
I'm currently in the beggining stages of mediation with my spouse and she is being very threatening, stubborn, angry, etc. Whenever I disagree with the mediator or her or refer to my own research or to what my lawyer told me, things only get worse in the way she escalates. I'm absolutely emotionally exhausted and can't take it anymore. Any suggestions?
I am in the same book. Because I don't agree with whay my stbx thinks is fair he is getting nasty. Don't engage with her. Let all communication be between the lawyers. You don't have to feed into her emotions.
Suggest shuttle mediation. That means that you are in 2 rooms and the mediator shuttles back and forth. That way, the mediator does the go-between and you can eliminate the emotions.
