I can see why you would want to have a snooze, Dinah. It's exhausting to be around someone so frustrated with themselves and railing at the world. To be a half of a couple, but not be reactive to their anger. Do you like to do projects and outings with your son? Are you able to walk away for some peace sometimes? Kids can see right through a happy face that's put on for their benefit - I remember my mum doing just that thing.
Hard to be self-preserving, a good mom and a good supportive wife at once. Just as you and I admit to our faults, so it is just as important for our partners to do the same.
