I think you nailed how I feel. I do still like the animals, but I get resentful that they are the most important members of the family. That's just wrong. W denied it when I said it in MC, but I still very firmly believe that if W was forced to choose between her dogs and me, I would be out in the cold. I honestly believe that, and that's not what M is supposed to be.
FWIW, I did take care of D's car and I remain unapologetic for doing it. In my book, the kids come before the dogs. W is just going to have to live with that.
