What a long strange road it's been.. And goodness.. does that man love his papers.
I know my kids acted out when I was pushing to get the house ready for market. It was then that the divorce was real, months later.
This is a tough time for all. It's good to hear the confidence and boundaries you've placed that are working for you. I think the kids do act out during this time and look for guidance, support, boundaries. Sometimes it involves letting go, other times reigning in. Ahhh.. and listening. DBing, validating the kids was invaluable. One book, How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk, I read was incredibly helpful. It saved me many a time on all levels.
