2021 in Bastrop, Texas mediation cost $21K. My Ex of 27 years agreed to pay a minimal amount of spousal support for 6 months until I turned 62. I had just turned 60. The mediator insisted I was 61 until I told him that I wasn’t drunk and that I knew how old I was. The mediator was useless. He spent a total of a half hour with me including explaining the process. The rest of the time he spent with the Ex. Ex was partially drunk/partially hung over. We negotiated nothing because the Ex wanted everything and never budged. Divorce cost $90K without children and now we’re back in Court because he refuses to pay Court Ordered assets. He hired an attorney.

What about people with borderline personality disorder

[@metr08]

A lot of ppl don’t know this but NPD and BPD exist on the same behavior spectrum, just on different extremes. That means you could essentially use the same tactic. Just maybe use more validation and empathy. Someone with BPD needs to feel heard and validated in their experience and in their concerns. Hope that helps.
