Way to go lexi-Lover, good on you, it is sometimes hard to see the brighter side of life, but i am so happy that you have such a will to carry on with what life has to offer, so much ahead of you, I envey your youth, and admire your committment and courage to take whatever life deals you.

It does explain the way things have changed, believe me your parents will be hurting too ya know, they will be blaming themselves, and hurt can come across as anger when we don't quite know how to say it.

Love and hugs to you, and keep your spirit up and love that wee pet of yours as much as you can, she is one good reason to get up everyday isn't she?and believe me there are a thousand more.
