Dr. T was helpful, covered all the stresses of the morning. He said my H can seem like a nuclear explosion when he's angry/stressed. And that it seems the mood of the house often revolves around his moods (also that D is her own Tasmanian Devil). I really wish he'd been our marriage counselor sometimes....He would have gotten both of us to examine our behaviors and reactions, where ex-MC. was more just about mine.

Dr. T suggested trying a "family reset button" when we're stressed/snapping at each other, where we all agree to take a time out for a bit, step back, take some breaths, and cool down, then come together again 5 or 10 minutes later. I said worth a try to do that. It was funny, he said I could suggest it to H and blame it on him (Dr. T), that I could say, yeah, he's (Dr. T) kind of crazy, but that I'd agreed to give it a try.
