Mrs Jaba says I don't get stress I give it! I am not sure what the secret is but I usually find that if you just deal with these things one bite at a time itbis a lot easier.
Sure I get peeved off pretty well but after that moment of du by spitting I am almost ice calm again......almost.
My suggestion is this, particularly with the lawyer you have control over. Remember this golden rule, he with the gold rules. That's you.
Cancel their engagement immediately. Pay the bill. Then sit back down with a new and simple engagement contract spelling out what you want and expect and attach KPI's to it, which will ultimately be used to calculate the perfomanced based pay at the end of the project.
Refuse to accept charges such as postage and sundries......coz they are a blatant rip off.
Have two contacts that will be available by mobile phone 24/7 and again KPI's apply.
Make the fokkers work for you. It will get their attention I can assure you.
Then start management of the project like any work job, do not treat it personally, which may be hard to do.
As for any chemical intake try to avoid it altogether booze also!
I hope you get through it easier than you are now
