heh... on a daily basis! Most days I count down the hours until everyone is asleep & I can collect my own thoughts & emotions.

One thing I have learnt over the years, is its not their tolerance that had to be worked on, it was my tolerance. They were quite entitled to their moods & emotions, it's just me that cant handle them. So now when their moods are bringing me down, I try to go down to a quite section of beach & scream at the ocean "LEAVE ME ALONE!"

But yeah, sometimes its like quicksand, it just sucks you under.

Your lucky to a degree, because your a male. I am forever being asked "is it that time of the month again?".... arrgggh.... how I hate that response! I either have PMT or are just being emotional. When it is that time of month, I usually make a grand speech to everyone that "NOW they can blame that"!
