Thanks again for the replies,
Life has gotten into a certain routine, but it is manageable. my AW isnt the type that gets mean or angry 90% time. Mostly she just hangs out, sometimes talks about things that dont quite make sense, or fallls asleep. I know this is progressive, but for now it seems to have leveled off. But as I am becoming more aware through this site I have a better handle of what to look for. When things go south my main objective is to protect the kids from being in the line of fire. they are older now, but (of course) it drives them nuts too.
