That's the part where I'm confused right now.


The best way for you to do this?

Live your life Bolt. For Bolt. For his family.

I am not telling you to close the door on her.

You must find that part of you deep inside that is YOU.

From there

You can show her who you are, what you stand for and why you would sacrifice your time to put up with this crap.

It is only crap if you believe it is crap. It will be crap for a while.

Then you will not be a victim of it and instead wrestle it down...

Because it is part of who you are.

No one here can guarantee she will ever come to her senses.

What will you do if you are not assured your M can be saved?

What choices will YOU make?

And more importantly

Why?

My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
