I concur about your son.. he's a gorgeous, sweet natured, intelligent, curious, sensitive little boy, I wanted to kidnap them both and take them home with me!
I agree with Michelle... wow, fantastic news that he quit !!!! I'm so sorry he had a wobble and 'took it out on you' and well done you for standing up to him !! I remember you posting before about his anger outbursts, punching the door, yelling at the kids etc when he was stressed (pre bomb?) but no, theres no room for that in your new life. And your Dad being so poorly really puts life into perspective hey and lifes too short to be yelled at !! I am glad he proudly put his arm around you whilst he told all your friends.. maybe you too will get to spend some evenings together now, can you imagine!???
