I have made it though a whole week of not arguing are "stalking" my wife. She contacted me several times about the taxes and and other things about about my son. We actually went out to eat together last night as a family. It was kind of wierd because she didn't really talk to me and we basically focused on our son and my step son's. She posted on her mypace page that she had a nice evening and that she was positive. You are right! I have know what I have needed to do but couldn't manage to get there. I think I am finally ready to focus on me!
