Yup, "a bit" is about all I have...Dr. Phil in 10...

Hi all, things continue to sail smoothly here...and to my great relief, there's been some resolution with D and H too.

It's been a cold war over there for over a week. H went on "wife strike", D was a grumbling, sulky, anger ball.

H was very ill yesterday (possible food poisening, possibly ulcer acting up). D came into town to buy roofing, and came home in a foul mood...many things had gone wrong, he hadn't eaten...and H had the temerity to be on the couch with a bucket instead of at his side finding a steak from the freezer.

I just happened to call right after his tirade at her (he went out to the garage), but was on the line when he came back in and continued to rage at her...."Now I bent the gd...XYZ and thanks an F'ing lot for helping me out!"

People, I hate to say it, but I heard my old self there...taking frustrations out on the one closest to me.

H was in tears, ready to look up D lawyers...I told her she's got a lot of options before THAT!

WEll, well, turns out D didn't much like himself reflecten in MY eyes (or ears shall we say), as he asked who she'd been speaking with. D and I have a respect for each other, he values my opinion. We've spoken of our rather unseemly similarities often.

He finally apologized for how he's been behaving, and for the photos she'd found (he had no recall of printing them...alcoholic black out?).

H was so much more herself when she called today...seems like this immediate crisis has been handled...now for some changes.

Take good care, all!
