ps. I am NOT a stupid person.

I did read your whole thread.

Matter of fact it crossed my mind to send you something because I HAVE been in your situation financially - still am ...but not to the degree I was when I lost my husband.

The reason I bolded some of your comments in RED is because those were the statements I didn't understand. I love my girls and HAVE gone without eating to keep them taken care of ....but taking them to a shelter or putting them to sleep is an option that never in a million years would even cross my mind.

There are always alternatives and while not everyone can deal with the issues you dealt with - those are the 2 that I found deplorable even if you did say it out of frustration. So again - you did the right thing.

all the best to you. I hope you find peace in your decision whatever it is.
