I just wanted to let you all know that my new life is not all roses quite yet. I told my kids I was going to stop drinking because it was hurting me and asked for them to try to be calmer with each other since it's a huge trigger for me (didn't use those words with them). Almost immediately afterwards they are quietly arguing over some toy, refusing to help clear the dinner table, crying and pouting and so on. So much for their support of my attempt at a sane household.
At least they're in bed and I'm catching up on some ironing (well not now - I have to catch up on SR also).
