Also, how did you work through that anger/upset about what H did to you at that time? My W still gets livid when she recalls having to return to work so quickly after our S5 was born (halftime at 2 months, fulltime by 4 months) because I was still training for my work and getting paid a tiny stipend. Are you still angry and if so, how do you deal with it? Importantly, what has H done (if anything) to help reduce/remove this anger/resentment in you toward him? Was it mere forgiveness on your part?
Jo, Sorry if you did not like the bunny story. I read the story with the mind set that it was a long story just so the punck line would make sense. "Restores hair with a permenant wave."
Kind of like reading the last line first. Then reading the rest of the story to see how the last line fits into the story. I am not cleaver enough to come up with stories like this one. I don't have that good of an imagination. Lots of caring and empathy though.
IRL I never like to see children, animals, or people hurt.
I worked to save a dog that nipped at a kid that was pulling the dogs hair. The kids parent wanted to shoot the dog. W and I found a home for the dog where there were no kids. Single lady around 40 and her mother had 2 dogs like the rescued dog. All 3 dogs have a very good time together and are pampered.
If you are still sad, please post about your feelings.
