I wonder where on the MLC "order of reconnection" are the family pets? After children?
We don't have any pets, so I couldn't verify this, but according to HB's posting of the stages of an MLC, I do believe it's pets before kids! I'd love to speculate about how that's because the WAS knows the pet won't verbally reproach him, and stuff about the loyalty of pets and the lessening of depression ... but I know better, because that's all mind-reading!
Libby, you sound so much stronger and more compassionate and yet detached--way to go!
