Everyone tells me progress not perfection but I sure can't handle what is happening to me and my kids.
I'll have two years next month, but learned in my first year to take the cotton out of my ears and stuff it in my mouth. I still slip with my kids at times, progress not perfection, but I try to have an awareness of my words before I voice them.
Have you considered counseling, or setting boundaries with your AH? My now ex endured my mouth for years and finally got fed up. I can't blame her one bit, and often wonder what took her so long. Protect yourself and your children first. I hope your daughter has a wonderful birthday!
