so as i've stated before, i'm not too into yelling my point across. even with wyl and i, i can probably count on my fingers on one hand how many times we've yelled at each other.
so i wrote a letter since talking doesn't seem to work well right now. i hit the nail on the head. i highlighted what was bothering me and why, kept negative language out of it, laid everything out as logically as possible... and it worked.
we talked for about a half hour before he went to bed about stuff, this was *after* we spent about an hour getting documents together to enforce visitation rights with his son, which was what most of my letter was about. he just sorta got stuck in a rut, and i didn't like that it affected time with his son most of all. he thought it was a break-up letter until he got to the end (which i made sure to state that it was indeed not a breakup letter, lol).
i knew everything would be okay once i got through to him, it was just getting through that was the hard part. i feel much better about the situation now :).
and i found a non-profit organization that might be willing to help with miette's surgery. if they do end up financing it, joey swore to me that we would donate the amount of money they help us with to another animal in need once we have it. that would make me very happy since all i can think about is how desperate and sad i was when i couldn't afford to save yappa and had to put her to sleep. it'll be nice to know we saved someone from that same pain that i still feel today.
so all and all today turned out to be not so bad after a rocky (and sick) start. here's to new beginnings, yeah?
