I've had cats most of my life. Years ago, during an argument with my ex-husband, my cats fled the room, obviously frightened. I was shocked and shamed – none of them would come anywhere near me for quite some time.

Quite a wake up call! About the marriage and about what a wreck I'd become emotionally. Had they not been there as a barometer, this may have gone on much longer… I hadn't realized how badly things had deteriorated, I suppose, because it happened gradually, over time.

I realized that the shrieking harridan I'd become was not the person I had been or wanted to be. Thanks again for sharing!

And yes, Anon, we are so very lucky to have our furry teachers!!

Not only that you were able to recognize how your behavior needed modifying, but that you are open and willing to share it with us.<br/><br/>We should all have such insight and compassion. Good for you. This is really lovely, Matt. Not only that you were able to recognize how your behavior needed modifying, but that you are open and willing to share it with us.

THANK YOU. It's wonderful to have you back and to have you share. Each of us is wounded in some way and it's pretty easy to recognize our own wounds. It is, however, somewhat miraculous when we are able to recognize how we wound others. Again, thank you. Oh, Matt. THANK YOU. It’s wonderful to have you back and to have you share.
