I lived it, it's not fun. that's why I have said that there should be breaks from active duty, therapy, etc. when someone spends every day dealing with 'the bad guy'...well, you get jaded. and that's putting it mildly.

and people wonder why I live fourteen hours away from my family.

Oh God. I'm sorry. Good for you for recognizing you need the distance. And for clearly breaking the cycle with your own kids.
