Heim, GD makes a great point here. If someone is looking for a reason to go off and be bitter, they will find something, regardless of what you do. I think you can control your actions to give as much preventative as possible, but as GD said, validate, etc. I on the other hand am considering the opposite tactic, I traditionally have listened, not raised my voice and kept calm during dissagreements. I don't think I will fly off the handle, but be firm, try to validate, but show a little more of a spine. Who knows, the longer I am here, the more confused I get somedays. Thanks for stopping over, I think you are doing a great job all and all. Keep focusing on your and kids needs and your path will show itself.
