I used to be better at it, but as time has ticked away, I find I am just too damn tired sometimes. I still manage to do a good job of it around my youngest, but my older two see the behavior and understand some of it. Not more than two months ago, my 12 year old said (after a fairly irrational blow up from my wife): "it's OK, Dad. We know you try to hide from us how unreasonable mom can be. It's not fair. I love you."
That was possibly one of the hardest things to hear and not completely lose it.
Now, back to your original question. I find that vodka solves almost any problem.

I'm curious, has your wife always had these "blow ups" as you called them, or did something happened to trigger them? Also, as the child of an alcoholic, vodka is not the answer! It will only make things worse! Have you tried talking to your wife, or getting counseling, spoke to your church leader (if you go to church)? Good luck!

I used to have blow ups. I don't do them anymore. I learned how to "channel" my emotions into other things, like exercise and artistic endeavors. It has really helped me.
