Want to scream, but nothing comes out-
All-
Finally had our mandatory mediation yesterday with STBXRAH. Disparity of income? My a**. I say, the guy gets a job. His Christmas list was amazing: pay for his health insurance (already doing that, plus car, LTC and life), half of my retirement, half of equity in the house that doesn't exist if I sold it today in the shape it is in, and (wait for it)...4 years of spousal maintenance. Poor guy...just can't seem to hang on to a job.
I want to scream. I wanted to run into that room and say how dare you ask for more-after you emotionally raped me and now you want to rape me financially (again)!?
Trying to say to myself "it is only money" and we will probably settle on 2 years' maintenance (just the sound of it)...I am just beside myself...I hate him.
