I have to agree w/ you Donna, the eggshell walking @ my place was the same. Though our daycare teachers tell me how the oldest just wishes her we would get back together. The constant fighting and d never knowing what mood he was gonna be in is draining. I didnt realize just how much I lost of 'myself' just trying to please him all the time.
I am naturally a calm person but /w him I was on edge all the time. I have to say this turned out for the better for the most part.
