Help please, mediation.

[Homely1]

I have my first joint mediation session looming so that things can be discussed over child contact. How do j make it successful so that ex doesn't take me to court? I am dreading being in a room with him and listening to him. He's manipulative.

Sorry you are having a hard time. I do think that if you trusted him in the process you would not reach out on here, so look inside and ask why it is that you fear mediation with the father of your child? Have you considered a session or two of counselling on your own first to prepare you for the mediation and to give you strength tools to deal with his hostility?

I hadn't but it's a good idea. Of course he came across charming as ever. I agreed to increase in time. He clearly does not know what to do with DC on the tone that he had abs this I don't know what he would do to
fill the time with more. His agenda is to have DC with his family as he is extremely subservient to them... I feel that DC with him will spend time being paraded around rather than being nurtured and having needs put first
