What does that mean? What actually happened and how do you know it was a fail if you only tried once? This is something that takes time, sometimes lots of time. You've heard, it's a marathon....

How bad is the situation? It's messy. She finally calmed down enough yesterday where we could talk and I could actually validate her on her reasons for the recent anger.
What were those reasons?
Quote:
As far as the anger/violence, she's not going to physically hurt me, and she isn't abusive towards the kids. She gets verbally abusive towards me and won't stop even if I walk away. New strategy, get to the car. I can lock myself in and, if needed, turn up the radio.
How do you think locking yourself in the car is any different than locking yourself in the BR? Just because she's not hitting you doesn't mean it's not violence or that your kids aren't hearing it and being scared by it. Priorities, hmm: 1)the well-being of the kids (this means being able to co-parent w/ her) [/quote] What does the well-being of the kids mean to you? (you're a long way from co-parenting, you can't even be in the same room with her)

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
