Well Alice Lee, I think you get to stop for just a moment and give yourself a hug and a pat on the back.
Here is an extra, very sincere hug from me, and I am sure from every one of us who has been in a similar situation.
You really did a nice job on handling difficult child this time.
She mistreated you again, indulged in her typical verbally abusive behaviors again, and tried to hurt you by implying that she would leave the puppy at the pound.
Again.
Don't buy into any of it.
Do you really think difficult child will bring the puppy to the pound?
Then that is an opportunity for you to tell her what you think about people who use innocent animals to manipulate their mothers.
Do you want the puppy?
Then go to the pound and make it your own dog.
If it is in the pound now (and I doubt that it is) then difficult child has given up all claim to it.
She is working to put you in the Guilty Seat, Alice Lee.
Don't sit down.
Keep posting ~ however foolish it feels to you as you go through it, keep posting about it.
How did that movie go? The one where Will Smith says to his litte boy "I got your back"?
Well, we are all here, protecting YOUR back.
Barbara
