My ex has yet again announced that my communication is so appalling we need to go for mediation. The only reason on this occasion that he is pissed off, is because he has decided he no longer wants to do the hour of driving to return our DC and I have refused to collect them, meaning he has to bring them back. Which was the original agreement anyway.
It's the same old refrain. He demands that I do something for him that is basically selfish/meeting his needs (hang the kids needs), and if I refuse, I am preventing him from being a parent/being a horrible bitter person/or a 'spoilt brat' because he can't socialise/live his life/he's being dicated to.
The last email tirade ended with the familiar call for 'mediation!' and despite knowing absolutely that this is ONLY an opportunity for him to criticise me with an audience, I have stupidly agreed. I don't want to go. He has no specific issue, nothing that can be reasonably discussed. He won't change. How do I deal with this?
Advice on how to form some serious boundaries would be welcome. I would really like to go no contact with him but as the DC are 3 and 1 that's impossible :(
