Sheesh! Surprised he went to the doc for the stitches...or did he do them himself? LOL

No movement in any direction yet, Sighs. He's still uber frustrated and pissed off with everything he's dealing with. And of course, more was added just this past week! He can't catch a break. Finally heard from him yesterday after writing an email asking if he was okay, I hadn't heard from him...

I've loved this video series for years, I LOVE cats. This is the newest one for Valentine's Day and as I was watching I thought, "Hmmm, this seems awfully familiar..." haha It's Peach and Tater:shifty::rolleyes::D at least until the end. :p

That's exactly part of the problem @Sighs. If he would give me a single indication that he is interested I could be patient and not in limbo again, but I have absolutely nothing to go on except him saying he wanted to just be friends and the relative silence on that subject since then...but like...

That is odd. I wonder what his motivation is behind that, since it just seems to be you and not his other kids. I suppose you have tried having a calm conversation with him about it?

I hate to say it and I certainly hate to feel it, but when starved of affection for a long enough period of time and no indication that this is just a spell, the fire of romantic love will start to die. We ended things in May with him still really on edge and saying no relationship beyond...

Sorry to hear you're both having a rough time, but you seem to be managing yourself well. Of course you're scared and frustrated, we all get that way when they've gone off the rails, but you know what's happening and why and haven't let yourself have your own panic attack. Hope it doesn't take...

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you, been SUPER busy. I can definitely see why him asking who you're talking to would get annoying. You're right, you're an adult and you can talk to absolutely anyone about anything, but I guess as long as he backs off after you've answered, frustrating...

How scandalous! LOL So the Thong Song back in the 90s (?) wasn't all that provacative, eh?

I am so glad I was already aware of that particular pitfall. LMAO!

Bringing in the herd is also common. It is interesting, Sighs. It is amazing all the little things that are so different. Tater and I had a rather long laugh/discussion about the "popcorn" button on the microwave not long ago. He couldn't believe there was a designated button, had to walk my...

I'd say wrangling. Don't know if mustering is used out West perhaps, but I've never heard it in that context before. With mustering I envision troops getting into formation. Easy to see how it could be used for livestock as well. Any sort of coming together, I guess.

Hard headed men.:facepalm: Mustering cattle...what an adorable turn of phrase! LMAO!

I can commiserate with you on the difficulties of having a parent live with you. I'm in my 30s, own my own place, and lived alone for a while between my sister moving out and my mom moving in. She was only supposed to be there for a couple of months while she and my dad bought a house in the...

That's so sad, but at least he's not suffering anymore.

Tater can lose his train of thought pretty quickly and it annoys him. The lag that can happen in Skype means we will start talking at the same time fairly often, so I'll defer to him because I know if I go ahead he'll forget what he wanted to say and get frustrated. I also do my best to let him...

I like those cards better, may have to take mine back. LOL Thanks, @Junebug! Those penguins are from a popular UK Christmas commercial from last year and appearently everyone went nuts over the penguins...I know Tater did! God, he's such a softie and he wonders why I like him so much. They even...

It was at Walmart and said "I like you" though still had romantic intonations, IMO. Just thought that was interesting and I know how many of our guys (and a few ladies around here) get squigged about hearing that someone loves them.

I'm super late....freakin working my ass off! But I'm sorry to hear that, Sighs. A broken back must hurt like a sonuvabitch which is no fun for you either. Hope he's chilled out these past weeks. Keeping busy with an injury like that must be especially difficult. I'm trying to think of...

That surprises me, Friday. I'm curious, too, because as for myself I generally like to either lead or am side by side. Don't like following behind; not on the road, not in the grocery store, not usually while walking with someone (especially someone I know...I may defer to a relative stranger...

@EHooligan Welcome. You will certainly find a wealth of knowledge and understanding here, both on how to keep yourself in one piece and about symptoms and PTSD itself. Read around, ask questions, vent if you need. That will all help with your side of things, but if he is unwilling to try to...

Seems this is the season of lonely hearts. Looks like a fair number of our significant sufferers have either tucked into their shells.....or are running around like raging bulls. LOL Freakin Christmas! Didn't even get a gift from him this year which rather sucks, I must say. But I get it. I...

Sorry, Sighs. I hope he chills out soon and can get it through his thick head that you deserve respect.

I can see that you are extremely passionate on this subject. That is to be commended! It is a great stance to take and happens to be one that is very close to my heart, too. You are absolutely entitled to your opinion and to advocate adoption. I applaud you and hope that you will encourage...

Yes, that's the word I was looking for above - registered! In Tater's area of the UK dogs must be registered, as well. Not so much here. I've lived in 3 Southern states and that has never been a requirement. We are over run with strays, possibly in part because there are no incentives like...
