Twelve mediation sessions. You are on session nine. She is the interpreter. Everything the other side says reaches you through her, and everything you say reaches them the same way, and you have never once been able to check. She does not hide it. She tells you when she has changed something, and what it actually meant, and she is always right, and you stopped objecting weeks ago. The rule is that neither party speaks to the interpreter outside the room. You broke that around week three. Three sessions left, and you still do not know how she came to be appointed.
