Yay for your boys. Kids get it. They know what doesn't feel right, and they are better at not stifling those feelings. Lisa,

YES!! Yay for your boys. Kids get it. They know what doesn’t feel right, and they are better at not stifling those feelings.

Actually we all are.... My oldest boy 11 observed the other day - 'Did you know Mum, that Dad thinks people should be perfect and that they never can make a mistake!' Oh and my favourite - 'You know Mum, I think that Dad is very short tempered. Have you noticed?' lol These little realisations for my boys help them so much in shifting their thinking from 'What's wrong with me?' to 'Wow, it's not actually me!' - and that's wonderful..... I am getting there!

Just last night I was talking to my folks about some recent developments with Mark. My folks have been there through this whole process. Each and every time we get together to discuss this mess, we find ourselves looking at each other, shaking our heads, and saying, "HUH?" Just as we were last night. I find I have this tape running through my mind that says, "He's not rational. He's not rational. He's not rational." It is constantly playing to remind me that dealing with him is not like dealing with a 'normal' person. Good luck to you. And thanks for writing. Funny how you said it is like an “alien invasion”.
