And this is the simple reality the OP is dealing with. It's not about this HR manager or her motives, competency, experience, etc., etc. It's not even just about HR or this particular manager; it's about the company she is representing, i.e., what the company wants.Absolutely do not do this without understanding and knowing every implication of what it means. HR is not your friend. HR is not there to make your transition easier. HR is there for the sole purpose of procteting the company, at all expense, including yours. Doesn't sound to me like you are ready for this conversation, which means you should deflect.I'll sign whatever HR wants
The poster "physics 911" offers good advice for the OP to "deflect." In this case, where the OP is going through two deeply unsettling experiences (and divorce impacts deep and hard long before it becomes final and can continue long after that) I think stepping back would give her badly needed time to restore objectivity, try to sort it all out, separate the two experiences to better understand each and how to approach a professional career area from a personal life.
OP, I think your topic post today is a start, to get it all out, to look for advice from a variety of sources, then to "deflect" and take time to review it all.
