I wouldn't even want to take a stab at trying to interpret your dream...but I am impressed by your interpretation...maybe the dream was just trying to reinforce that you need to follow your heart.

I think part of the problem is that we are looking for signs of changes on a weekly, or even a daily basis. It's as effective as trying to figure out how much taller our children have grown each day.
Good point. We need to look at our spouses progress over time to get a better perspective. How do you see that things have changed for your H since the bomb?

About saying wrong things to kids, it's difficult to make WASs out to be faultless because we are also the ones responsible for teaching our kids right from wrong. The resentment will seep through and the kids will pick up on it. My S is only 5 and he's already making such comments. I don't make direct comments about H, but I also know that S5 is smart enough to figure out the message I'm telling him when I make certain comments.
I have such difficulty with this and it hasn't gotten easier over time...my XH and his wife continually put the kids in the middle and then blame me. I have tried to bite my tongue but there are times (like yesterday) when I lose it. Just do your best...it is hard for kids because they love both their parents.
