Job thank you for that. I get caught up in the day to day episodes and try to "fix" and make things better and I really have to get out of that mind frame. Yesterday just really made me nervous for the 1st time. Whenever we come back from somewhere with the kids, even though things go smoothly, he always gets anxious and wants to run as soon as we get home... and he does. Yesterday the car ride home was tougher because the kids were cranky so when we walked in from the party I just knew he would fly off the handle. You could tell by his body language. I tried to quickly get the kids dinner ready so that I could feed them and put them to bed. As I was doing that my daughter tripped, twisted her foot and started to cry and that just made him go nuts. He started cursing, threw a chair and screamed "I can't stand this f-in house". I calmly said just go, just leave, because I knew that's what he wanted to do. I give him all the space I possibly can but I don't think it's enough.. but he just won't move out. So instead he stays there and is tormented. He is around us only as much as we wants to be and even when he's home, I'm always staying out of the same room, staying busy, keeping the kids entertained. I'm on egg shells around him all the time, trying to keep the kids under control so he won't rage but it's really getting tiresom. He had mentioned once that July 1st he's moving out. That's tomorrow and I don't see it happening. Should I ask him about it or leave it alone. Should I talk to him telling him that I see he is uncomfortable and unhappy and maybe he should get more space from us? It's just not fair to my kids to watzh their dad like this. My daughter was hysterical yesterday after he stormed out.
