hi NLW - stay in a safe place in your mind - the details of what he's doing doesn't matter. only focusing on your feeling good does.

if you can look at it this way - maybe he has to go really down before he can come up - and down for each person is different.

i thought it was interesting that he's mad at d16 - maybe he is feeling her disapproval and unhappiness and that is making him very uncomfortable and so it's easier for him to be mad at her.

it's hard to see them in a good light when we feel that they are not being good parents. its hard to wrap our minds around that. sit down and think of some positive things that you all had together with h, and it will soften your mood a little and actually make YOU feel better

i love the way i'm giving you all this advice, considering that last week this time i was a raving mess!!

so next time i'm going nutty, copy and paste this back to me okay?

hugs and go do something fun with your kids today - even if it's only for 5 mins
