What to do??!!

Devon and Ursula have been at each others throats so much lately! I'm not sure what to do about it but it needs to stop. I'm compelled to write about it at this very moment because I've just witnessed something sad.

I'm sitting up in my bed laptopping happily while Devon is asleep here in the bed beside me. (Yep, Adam's out of town so undoubtedly one of the kids had to find their way in here.) Well, a couple of moments ago Devon, apparantly dreaming that he's fighting with Ursula, spoke her name out loud in a very angry voice. These two can't even get along in their dreams!!! What am I to do?!

I tell you, there's something wrong and it's on a heart level. I can adjust their behavior but how can I reach their hearts? Why are they always at each other's throats lately? It hurts me to witness because I love them both. I feel like I'm constantly trying to explain to them how their attitude or harsh words have been received by the other one and have come across as hurtful. Nobody cares. Just me. They just want to grab big sticks and go beat each other out in the front yard.
