Please Lord teach us to laugh again, but God don't ever let us forget that we cried.

Temper, Temper

By October of 1998 I was already doing everything I could to avoid DH's temper. I wrote in my journal that:

I'm so afraid to bring it up though. I'm not ready to fight with him again. A lot of things scare me. We need to talk so badly, but it scares me. I hate his temper and it seems I'll do anything to stay away from it.

From this point forward my life became about walking on egg shells and the HUGE arguments that ensued when I just couldn't do it any more. Every time I would let things fester and then it would be one giant blow up. Right from the beginning I didn't want to make him mad, never realizing that not speaking up would make things much, much worse.
