i woke up from a terrible dream this AM at 0300 and just layed there until alarm went off at 0600 stewing. i have had that so many times it is not fun or productive or healthy. how do you keep the hurt out of your head, even when you are sleeping.
Last few days, wife has been very cold. no statements to me out of the ordinary small talk. she has blown up at the kids a few times, but they are pre-teens and that is not abnormal, i guess. She gets p-o'd at them for the same things that she used to get mad at me for how she viewed our interactions. it appears that she gets mad at them when they don't respond right away to her requests. she gets mad if they interrupt her. she gets mad if they do not respond to her in the way she wants. (she hates incomplete answers, where you would think that she could figure out what you mean from your response, but she responds very acutely when 'she has to mind read' to get the answers). I think for a while these responses from her to me were once things were too late and she had, 'had it'. it was spew-ish. TO be fair, i was guilty of interrupting and such. these are items that i'd recognized and worked on for over a year and had not heard complaints like this for a while now.
I have been trying to work with the kids on being respectful in the responses and such, it is hard for a 10 year old to understand what i'm getting at.
