Things have settled quite a bit, but I am just taking it one day at a time. I am trying some new things... The main source of our problems has been my youngest son. We took him to a therapist last week and it appears that he may have ADD. I guess I was always just used to his behavior, and didn't think much of it. Hopefully now my wife will try to be a little more compassionate with him. Apparently, someone with ADD requires a different type of parenting...

Yes I understand, I had and have ADD, I was just brushed off as a bad kid though. Everything was boring to me so I became the best bad kid ever!
...and you are correct, kids with ADD need a different type of parenting, but the parents are often driven mad. Sounds like your wife needs to also learn how to step away and take a deep breath. Maybe your obsession with your sac could help her? =P
Glad to hear it has calmed down, I can tell you really love this lady and those boys,,, so hang in there.

My wife and her brother have ADD. It insanely annoying at times. She forgets the most basic of things on a daily basis. Somedays I almost have to reminder her to wear clothing when she goes to work. Her brother is on some type of medication for it. I swear he's as dumb as a stump but for some reason he is the best guitar player I have ever met and also an excellent Chef.

Cy has had a few "forget to wear clothes" moments himself. If you can laugh at it together it makes the rougher times a bit less rough.

Hey shut up...LOL!!!
Yes, it isn't easy being focused so intently on the birdy at times. ADD people can have great success but watch out when they are backing out of a driveway right honey?
...and you do not know how many times we forgot to zip up after hanging a honker. Thank God for winter air, it warns us that we are naked before we run errands.
