Reminds me of a kitten we had named "Burp"...it took us a while to get him to come to us but eventually, he stopped sleeping on the doorstep and came in one night....
Give the kitten time...it's scared. Just keep leaving it little bits of food and some water. Kitten will start to associate your scent with food and before you know it, it has made its little self a home with you.
I agree with that statement somewhat Leigh2154 and it is a good statement. I was 'taught' (if that is the right word here) to BE a strong woman by my parents. Both always told my siblings and myself that in order to "make it in the world" we had no choice but to BE STRONG.
No one would give us a handout nor would we have the right to expect one. It was up to us to earn a living, provide for our families, teach our children and to give back to the community and ourselves when we could. If we had a partner, that was wonderful, if we did not, then we needed to know how to survive. We learned.
I think I am experiencing culture shock having moved from the west coast area to here on the east coast area. Some things are the same and yet others seem so odd and confusing to me; I feel "lost" and "disconnected" and do try though to immerse myself in the city and yet, it doesn't seem to be happening....
I have no bitterness in my heart towards my ex, however stating that, I cannot be there for him if something such as a terminal illness happened to him. I am always there for the children that we raised together and am happy for his successes and do not gloat over his failures. We know how we were together, we know how it was when we parted and neither of us could be there for the other.
I feel for you and your situation and you will make the best decision for yourself.
I don't wish harm nor hurt on my exes but honestly, I do not believe that I could be there for them. We have moved on and it is better this way, no matter the future...
