Hey Punkin,

Thanks for checking in. I'm just cruisin and livin my life.

Helping to get my DIL's colt ready for a horse show this weekend. He's out of my stallion so I have a stake in how well he does. IMO he's an exceptional baby. Only thing that I believe might hold him back is that he was born late April, so probably be smaller than most of them there. We'll see...

Punkin, we all have irrational thoughts and words. It's when we act upon those thoughts is where there could be trouble.

Part of the reason for these boards I believe is so we can vent and rage to each other for solace and advice, and not at our S.

I have never read about one irrational action from you. You 'got it' early on that this isn't about you, but about your H. You recognized he has problems and you went about protecting yourself as best as you oculd without vindictiveness or taking it personally.

You learned quickly that detaching was for you. You've handled your sitch with compassion, dignity and grace while looking out for your best interests because you knew no one else would or could.

I admire your strength and courage!
