My husband came home early .. (we have our own business) and normally when that happens - he has not had a good day. But he was fine. He even started supper!
His mood has progressively worsened and now I am walking on egg shells. He has not been "untoward" with me but my poor son is taking the brunt of his mood. I feel so protective and angry when he takes his mood out of our poor 8 year old son. But if I intervene .... I feel like telling him to ... to ... to but then I remember all the times I did ... did ... did

I understand the egg shell scenario and yet I also know of hating myself if I do not speak up and protect the children.... even if it has to be from someone that loves them. LoVe, Rhapsody -

It's an awful feeling when you have to walk on eggshells and see your child being mistreated. I'm usually the one walking on eggshells, too. Please be kind to yourself right now. You need a break from all the tension.

Thank you so much Linda. These rough times, though they come and go quite quickly, seem to end just as abruptly. Or at least I hope so.
I think of you often and will not hesitate to talk, if I need to. Thank you!

{{{{{{{{{{{Sabrina}}}}}}}}}}}}} I sure know how that goes! It surely STINKS to the high heavens!!
Can you get your son to go to a different part of the house so that he doesn't have to put up with the crap either?? You know... YOU can tell him to "SHUT UP!!" but your son can't.
