Sorry to hear that. I hope you are able to make a decision that is best for you and your children. Good luck.

We don't ever fight in terms of yelling or stomping around. Usually we just ignore one another until we're ready to talk it out, and we don't talk about any issues in front of the kids.
My parents never fought either. I don't know about DH's parents, but I don't think they fought in front of him if they did.

DH's family shoves everything under the rug and pretends they're fine. While talking behind your back of course.
Yeah. ..its' been interesting at times. A passive aggressive married to a screaming object thrower.
My family might be dysfunctional but at least we (and the entire neighborhood) know where we stand on a matter! I hate having to try to read DH's mind.
We're getting better but old patterns die hard.

...:::"Whenever I hear this I can't help but remember this gal that I worked with for a brief time period. She was total trailer trash. She had multiple kids from multiple husbands, of all different nationalities. She was overweight, and really not very bright. She was smoking during her pregnancy and said "People tell me not to smoke while pregnant, but my mother did, and it didn't hurt me none." Granted, I'm pretty sure she would be dumb, make bad decisions and have a bunch of illegitimate kids even if her mom didn't smoke while pregnant with her - but the whole scene was just so unappealing.":::...
I suppose it all depends on what the yardstick is. I'm sure each of us turned out "alright" in one way or another. I'm also sure that with cherry picked criteria, we could be made out to be failures.

I second this! I just hate the unnecessary tension. I always feel like if we could just talk calmly, whatever caused the argument would seem silly and we could move on quickly.
Though I remain firmly convinced that some people are happiest when they successfully find effrontery or criticism in a statement -- whether it was there or not.
