Congrats on the "mental progress" with the non-negatives this weekend. I'm sorry to hear about your neighbors; perhaps MC will help save their marriage. Maybe you need to pass along copies of DB and DR!
It's too bad about your wife and the kids, but you are not alone in this -- my H definitely has a shorter fuse with my D during the past 6 months or so (when I think our own mess truly began).
I think that when kids hit a certain age, obviously they start to get an opinion about things, or their personality comes out, etc. I know my daughter starting kindergarten aided her own independent mind -- she's not a baby anymore and she has a mind of her own. I'm sure your 14-year-old is certainly getting a mind of his own -- doesn't that happen at that age? -- and maybe your wife has a tough time dealing with that... Maybe she truly realizes her baby is grown up, that she can't control him anymore? I'm probably just reaching here for an answer for you, but that's my take when I think of my own child and what's going on now and likely my future worries as well...
Have a good Monday and keep your spirits up!
