Pollyanna,

Thank you for all the advice. I hope you are well. I have taken the anger management classes. My anger outbursts all come from my PTSD from my time in Iraq. I've dealt with the PTSD at lenght through my weekly counseling for the past 11 months. I think I've made tremendous progress. Unfortunately a lot of military people come back with PTSD from Iraq. It affected me and definitely affected my family. It took for my wife to leave for me to wake up and deal with it. I'm glad I did.

Anyway, I'll try the extra phone call. I guess that counts as a 180, right? I've been doing the weekly call for 8 months now. Time to bring in a little change. You are wise. I sure wish I could invite my wife for a date, but how do you do it when we have 900 miles separating us physically? Any ideas, Pollyanna?

Thanks for your encouraging words. I hope you are doing well too.
