He has always be highly opinionated and angry and visits with him are tense because we knew he will probably blow, we just didn't know when. I have been divorced and remarried, and now when I am with the extended family (including him) I have a heightened sense of his disfunction. When your children float between two separate families, it makes it more difficult to know that they dislike being around ...
