Got up, meditated, twice. Punted daily scrum due to more than the critical mass being on PTO or unavailable. Ran some quick errands and had a reasonably decent day. Collided, more and again, with Tommy, on numerous instances. It's more frustrating and painful than I can say here to be always belittled, scoffed at and more. Even when I'm trying to do something to help, he's on the offense. Lost it in the car after pickup up Lauren. Literally got out. Then returned and yelled at him to STFU. The word for him is relentless and reaching a point of such upset with your own kid just plain sucks. Depressing as hell. I'm not modeling the best responses. His mom endured it, now it's my turn. The only defense any more is walking away. It's effecting Jen too which in turn effects us. Played cards w/Gene, Bobbie, Matt, Sheila. Steve/Diana had power issues due to a winter storm. Lauren/I dropped wine and cookies at my mom's then drove through Campbell on the way home and saw some cool Christmas lights. Failed to get a walk in. Too cold to go now. Health is paying a price as is my mental outlook. Returned to listening to "The Righteous Mind" and it's very clinical and dry. I need something light right now. May set it aside and return in January.
