[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 403221, member: 1991"] It sounds to be like there suddenly is a sticking point on your one major dealbreaker. That really worries me - this attorney has seemed on side so much before, and now he's digging his heels in apparently stupidly. Something smells rotten here. I like MWM's suggestion to modify the wording. If you suggest that, it also makes it clear that you are trying to find a way through, to work it out with them and you're not just being difficult. I wonder if the attorney is sticking so hard on this one, because the principal has reminded him of who pays his fees? It's easy for the principal to seem nice, and suddenly cooperative, if he knows he already has got someone else to block your one main objective. I've been there done that with meetings (not school-related) where an apparently nice person on the board was actually the instigator behind some very nasty stuff - the person pulling the puppet strings of two others. I watched this person (in my case) reveal himself when the other two literally looked in his direction for some sort of indication of when to act, and what to do, and I saw him nod or shake his head accordingly. And when they spoke, I heard his favourite phrases... but when we took a break, the same snake came up to me to give me a hug and say, "It will be alright soon. All they want you to do is back down." Go carefully, Shari. Marg [/QUOTE]
