Dear Katie:

Yes, Hunter is not a perfect dog, neither am I a perfect person, none of us is perfect, of course. When as a teenager, you wanted your mother “to see and admit how her emotional instability and choices made things hard” for you- you wanted her to see the Reality of your childhood with her, so to connect with her and have a close relationship with her. By denying the reality of your childhood experience with her- she made a close relationship impossible.

I wish you a pleasant Christmas and a Happy New Year and thank you for your wishes for me!
