ears/voices

I'm here to talk to but I don't always have the right things to say. He gets me upset a lot too. It's hard for me to help because he isn't "my" son, I just don't know what to do to help sometimes. He just doesn't like me and it makes me want to not deal with him at times. I know that's wrong but I can't help it when he upsets "my" kids like he does. Unfortunately, I just shut down when dealing with him because I hate seeing you upset by the things he says and does to you. You are a great father and don't deserve his harsh words and actions. We just have to remember that he is only 7 and we are starting counseling soon. Things will get better, I promise!!!! I love you!

My children have not p****d me off for at least 2 days now, so I am waiting for the shoe to fall, so to speak. How old is your son?

Sorry I wasn't here to talk, but I had to work and then I had to go to my mom's. My sister and my uncle go home early tomorrow. I sure can understand getting riled at a family member. As much as I don't want my sister to go home, on the other hand, I won't be seeing my brother daily for the next few months - that'll improve everything!
