Yes, you are right: H already knows I'm a psych major and have that all in place, no need to hit him with it. Plus, he doesn't really care right now what I feel/don't feel so no use explaining it. Definitely a case of actions speak louder than words! I will make desktop pc a priority!
As for the kids talking about their feelings, you are absolutely right. That seems to be the common thread in our family that needs to be fixed: we're all too concerned about being nice/avoiding conflict so no one says what's really on their minds. I learned this at our weekend retreat too. It still encompasses anger, just inward rather than outward and is still unhealthy, actually - more so! I've got to do a better job of modeling a new behavior here and discussing it with the kids as well.
