[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 155995, member: 3647"] I gotta say, I am glad MB spoke up, because I was starting to think that I was the odd man out. Vickie, I have been reading all your posts about Ally, and my heart has absolutely been breaking for her. I'm putting myself in her shoes. I would imagine she feels completely abandoned. I also would not expect her to "behave" during any type of visit with you because of it. (this recent event notwithstanding). Trust me, I get where you are coming from. I know the pain of being treated the way out difficult children can sometimes treat us. But she is just a kid. When you posted about getting the dog, I about died. I could see being Ally and thinking that she had been replaced. She ans husband must both feel like they are not good enough to be a part of the "good" part of the family. I think that is why husband reacted the way he did. But then everyone else on the board said what a great idea it was, and how wrong your husband was, so I kept my mouth shut, because I figured I was probably way off base. I'm not so sure though. Granted, I do not know the ins ans outs of your situation, just the bits and pieces I read here. I see your hurt. I don't see that you see [I]her [/I]hurt. I often see seething anger towards husband. husband and Ally might feel like it is them against the world. The whole situation is sad, and I do not think that there is anyone to blame. But I think Ally needs her mom. [/QUOTE]
