Forced or badly done mediation seems indeed terrible, entering into conversation facilitated by someone skilled with an intent to genuinely understand the harms caused and make sure you correct he underlying patterns seems much less bad than the actual way the situation played out.
I agree with that statement as worded, but you still seem to be presupposing a view of ‘mediation is good-by-default in this sort of situation’ that at least don’t think you’ve argued for.
That’s fair, I’ve added a note to the bottom of the post to clarify my intended meaning. I am not arguing for it in a well-backed up way, just stating the output of my models from being fairly close to the situation and having watched a different successful mediation.
