RE Karen1 On Friday my H thew a giant "man tantrum" HUGS Karen.

Reading the post about "cleared" the counter by throwing everything away made me want to say "hay man, cool it will ya."

I am not willing to live my current pathetic existence where I wait for whatever scraps he throws my way and then do tricks until I get some more. You dog people know what I'm talking about.
Been there many times. People and dog wise.

but felt very hollow about Mother's Day on Sunday
Well Happy Mothers Day to you from a dad that has been on both sides of feeling lonely / hollow on Mother's Day. (meaning I screwed up on some Mothers Day's, and tried to make up the next year but was criticised for past behaviors or things happened like when Hairdog made his W a dark chocolate cake.)

Again, Happy Mothers Day Karen1.

Sister Mary Karen, who must go to confession due to the sin of resentment
I am not Catholic but I suspect your confession here on the SSM forum is received and you have our understanding and generates our wishes for more happiness in your life.
