I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes and I don't know why. It's niggling in my mind that my husband went in late to work this morning and may or may not be late coming home. But he's doing all the right things -- he kept the 4 year old with him this morning, he called me as soon as I got home and said he thought he was going to take off from there in 15-20 minutes, but he didn't know if his boss had other plans for him and would call me if he was going to be later. He also encouraged me to call him back if I wanted. When I got home I discover my husband's cell phone on the counter, turned on with a "missed call" message on it. But I check the time (it's a prepaid phone) and he hasn't used any. I also checked the computer, and he didn't visit any porn sites this morning. So why am I in such a bad mood? -- I actually slammed my bedroom door so hard to get away from the kids hammering me with questions the minute I walked in the door that I broke it and couldn't get it open again. I had to jump out the window and then kick the stupid thing open. Of course getting a card for a certified letter from our trailer park didn't help (those things are never good news), but that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.<p>Things actually seem to be going somewhat well with my husband so why am I feeling so down? Any tips on how to pull myself together before my husband gets home? I really, really don't want to take out my bad mood on him.

{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}<p>You are having a normal reaction to the turmoil in your life. You are not reacting to anything that happened today. Your are reacting to years of this stuff. <p>You are angry and hurt. Rightfully so. It's going to seap out in any way it can. This means you need to find constructive ways to deal with your anger and pain. So that you control when they come out.<p>And yes, I know it's not easy. I'm almost a year from d-day and still have a mood once in a while. Had one this last weekend.<p>[ March 14, 2002: Message edited by: zorweb ]</p>
