Yes, the dog situation is tearing me apart. I agree that it has caused all of my emotions to be a bit more sensitive as well right now. I am hoping for the best for him, but regardless, I need to have some conclusion to the situation as it is very difficult on both of us.
As for the X, I am working hard at choosing my battles wisely, but as I said to Kerry, I thought her attempts at manipulation were completely wrong, so I called her on it yesterday.
Even if she isn't responding to what I say, at least she knows where I stand. In fact, I'm completely comfortable w/confronting her on things right now. I hope I can stay this way, to be honest, as it allows me to process what is bothering me and move on right away.
She is still so angry and even more so since she found out I have a GF. I knew it would occur, but wasn't really sure what I'd be facing when it came.
