Carlos,

My X also thinks she is the only one who knows how to raise a child correctly, so she is in the right while I'm in the wrong at all times.

Complete BS!

As for the GF, I introduced D to GF unplanned, but GF needed a lot of help w/a garage sale she desperately needed to have on the same weekend I had my D, so we agreed to have them meet (4th of July weekend). It went very well and D really likes her and her kids a lot (and GF likes D too).

So, D reported to X how nice and pretty GF was, and it all started up again. Angry. Angry. Angry.

Finally, the dog situation isn't improving, so I really have no choice but to put him down to end his confusion and discomfort. Since he has no muscle tone in his sphyncter, the thought is it won't come back (wouldn't for humans either) and there very well could be more inside of him that is causing this all to happen. If I were to choose to keep him alive a bit longer, he'd only be uncomfortable and confused and again, something much more painful may be at work inside of him.

It is best at this point to let him go...even as hard as that is for me. I know in my heart it is the right thing to do.

So, I'll take him tomorrow to pick up D and let X say goodbye to him. I'll then let D have her day to say goodbye to him as well tomorrow. I'll most likely put him down some time between Friday and Sunday so we don't prolong it. The longer I wait the harder it will be on me.

So, that is very sad, but I'm moving toward closure w/the whole thing. I'm choosing to look at it as the apex of all the bad things that have been happening in my life over the past year and a half. This is the final straw, so I'm choosing to believe it is all up from here.
