Hi Shirley, Please don't be afraid of a GAL, be honest with them, don't try to influence him/her. Only offer information directed to the questions you are asked. In other words, don't complain about the ex to this person. He/she should speak with the pediatrician re: medication issues and any concerns about who is or is not securing the necessary medical treatment. The racist thing is hard but if asked answer head on. You do not want your kids hearing these terms, you do not share those beliefs. People who act as GALs are usually pretty good at having a bit of common sense and don't be so sure he can B.S. his way through it. Mediation workd best if you can have your feelings and thoughts on the issues heard. If not, it does not work. Keep us posted please.
