Ake~ you have endured more than could be expected of any person without your "brain chemistry disorders"~~! my word, those kinds of stress levels are dangerous to your health! one cannot find it in oneself to blame you for pushing that "old man" ,, years of restraint finally gave way. sorry the kids had to see it, on the one hand, and glad they saw you so definately and finally disapprove of his abuse~!! one sends all light and energy,, hoping for the best,, Gus
