I’m with Avitable on this one. It really sucks when the one who should have your back isn’t on the same page.

I get quite emotional about a few things and in the past my husband has rolled his eyes and said under his breath :’Here she goes again.’ But lately, and after a very big heart-to-heart( and lots of threats) he has begun to support me a little more. It used to drive me mad when everything was blamed on PMT or whatever. If things are important to you, it’s nice to get a bit of
support. I understand what you’re feeling. Hang in there.

I hope that your husband understands where you are coming from and the principal of it all, and at the very slightest supports you no matter what. And I hope he is able to validate what you feel, because that is important too…..

(and of course, you do the same)

If not, at the end of the day, finish off a bottle or 2 of something strong, and perhaps you will feel better. I know I always do.

I could go all Psych 101 on you, but instead I will say that you are doing the best thing you can possibly do for your kids by demanding respect for your feelings. Your kids are seeing a strong Mom (even if she’s frustrated and upset), so there is a silver lining in this whole infuriating “stubborn trying to be an alpha male” thing.

FEELINGS are not stupid. They just ARE.

And they deserve fucking validation.

And yeah, this is your Internet Friend getting worked up on your side again.

Deal with it. :hole:

Don’t give up on this one, Amy! I hope Mike realizes (SOON) that he can actively and vocally disagree, but he definitely needs to be supportive of your feelings and how you decide to act on them….especially because this is affecting your daughter!
As far as the chickens go….get your guns a-blazin’ and the fire in your belly and go fight City Hall! :mob:
I’m with you in spirit….jewelz

I also wish that I had some great words of wisdom to make you feel better. Just know that there are people that really do care. :hug:

Wow, I got to agree with Av.

I think ya did good. I’m sure it makes it a bit easier for Maggie to see her Mommy trying to do something about her beloved pet. :cheer:

My husband is the same way. I hope he comes around soon.
