BTW, my kids enjoy a very peaceful phase right now. They see their dad in bed in the morning and he spends time with them 3-4 days per week after school, picking them up, having lunch together etc etc, calls them at night and they both feel happy. You can tell they are reserved about what is going to happen, but they dont see us fighting or me crying or anything similar.
I know my son picks up on my moods but that is something I am working on and dont know if I should fool him or not. Presently I prefer to be honest. So, we ar enot a case where the kids are harmed by our interactions. If you guys saw us, you would be convinced we are well on the road to...paradise K
