@AlexEN: I was separated "that way" from 13 Feb to, well, Friday.
It's all a management issue. If you can manage being in the same house, it's...well...manageable. But when things are tense it's a bear.

I'm floating with the tide into dangerous waters. I'm not being Differentiated today I'm afraid. In other words, I'm not deciding to control my emotions. It's odd, the things you don't notice, and when you do -- pow!
I was dropping D6 off at day-camp this morning, and she was all hinky and uncertain -- not at all like her normal self. I watched S9 find a place for carpet time at his day-camp, and it was the same thing. And I thought -- and then the thought passed -- why are they acting so weird?
Then, 20 minutes ago, I'm eating a sandwich and DUH.
They're putting on brave little faces for WAW. But they're not so brave, and they're not so tough, and they're hurting.
And frankly, that pisses me off like m*thaf*cka. And my Non-Differentiated Self wants to make WAW pay for that. I know I shouldn't. I know that, in the moment, I can't.
