[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 622690, member: 13542"] Oh JFK I am sorry you had to witness that on top of your concerns about difficult child. Geez, of all the streets you could have been driving on........ Many years ago when my daughter was a little girl and I was living in Connecticut, I was driving through a wooded area and I hit a small deer. I had my daughter and my younger sister in the car (sister was about 11) I freaked out and a woman came out from a house and said she saw it and called 911. A CT. state trooper showed up and I parked the car with the kids far away and went to talk to him. He asked me if I wanted the deer since the law was whoever killed the deer got to keep him. I said no of course not, I want it taken to a vet I will pay for it. He said, the deer is injured. As I was standing there talking to the woman, he walked over and shot the deer in the head. I almost passed out. I was traumatized, no warning, no conversation, just killed the animal. I couldn't stop crying and the woman was very sweet to me. I pulled it together and went back to the kids who were so concerned. I told them a big lie, I said the deer was taken to the animal hospital and he would be fine. We left. It took me a long time to get that out of my brain so I so understand how you feel JKF. I am sorry. Do whatever you can to push that image out of your mind. And, perhaps like with my deer, the animal may have been injured and you came upon the scene at the end where there was nothing they could do for it. Sending a big hug for you JKF. [/QUOTE]
