Began another round of mediation yesterday
It frustrates me to no end that the court system keeps telling me I need to believe my ex will change his abusive ways. When he continues the same patterns over and over and over again. I cringe inside when I hear forget the past and expect different in the future. I have been there done that only to be dragged back in by my ex. Now I would rather protect myself and teach my DD tools to survive and thrive despite his abuse.
A plus there was a lot of education about how words can have negative effects on children. Supposedly education for both of us but its preaching to the choir with me. I hope and pray some of it stuck with my ex. But given I have heard it delivered to him before I am hesitant to believe his professions of change.
