Has anyone used family mediation?

Did it help? Is it really worth the expense? I've seen It can cost anything between £600 and a grand 😔

Should we try and work it out the old fashioned way? I'm prepared to expect one family member will be very difficult,narcissistic tendances so feel we might need someone else more neutral or trained in this 😕

We did this when I was a teenager. No, it didn’t work. It was a total disaster. But it depends what the problems are and how willing everyone is to commit to it.

Thank you for replying. That's a shame it didn't work. I guess everyone needs to be on board with it which is hard in itself 😞

There is no diagnosis but definite signs of it.

Presumably you're qualified then?
