holding, I feel for you here! Even though my(can I say it now?) STBXW never had that temper to ever lash out at anyone in her life I feel somewhat relieved that it hasn't come to that. Mostly because I do have a temper and I fear I may revert into that behavior easily if prompted. Thank god for my IC! Having said that, she has been snapping at the kids as of late, all the things that the kids did that drove me nuts she now has the outburst towards them instead of me and the new me just lets it slide! I too take the same path as you regarding the kids, I just let her do what she feels necessary and deal with my kids in a polite calm manor to calm them down. She just keeps pushing them away. Keep it up buddy, we're doing great!
