Wow Pax! 4 dates in 10 days...I believe it that you have trouble keeping them all straight in your head! Go you, though. Sounds like your having fun exploring that world. In fact, I'm impressed with how well you've GALed...created challenges and met them head on, over and over. Its been fun to "watch" you blossom as you've travelled this journey and found your strength. Things seem to be falling into place. Well, no... that discounts your hard work. You seem to be PULLING things into place.

I'm glad you get to have your pup back part time. Maybe I missed it, but was your pup more your dog (they always choose someone)? I wonder why ex even wants to hold on to pup, knowing he is forced to do the exchange. How does that benefit him? Stubborness usually has a reason...deeper than control. Especially since by being forced to do the exchange, he's smacked in the face with his LACK of control in the sitch. It simply means he's forced to see you (even though he's hiding behind a door). But hiding so that you can't see him doesn't mean he can't see you. Its funny how sometimes they still seem to want a connection. Sorry if I'm overthinking...its what I tend to do, lol.

Keep doing you, Pax. You're very good at it. I'm inspired by your progress in life, as are so many on here. You are a success story.
