1) sticking to the 24 hr rule before responding to anything inflammatory. Some things about recent EA revelations will affect my children, and I need to address that before D. But not immediately. It can wait.
2) set a boundary: asked wife to stop asking me how I'm doing as all it does is remind me of how I'm doing. She respected and accepted that.
