My Menagerie

We have way to many animals! We have two dogs, Socrates, a black standard poodle, and Percious, a yorkie-poo. We also have two cats, an orange tabby cat, Bubby and a black siamese, Tabitha. All the animals but Tabitha were inside animals. Now that we have moved though, they are all about to be outside animals. It is going to be a big change but a necessary one. I will at first be sooo heartbroken not to have my animals sleeping with me and/or around me but with a little one that is about to walk and many friends with allergies, it is just the best decision. The new place has a huge fenced in back yard so the dogs will be really happy. As for the cats it is a huge front, side and back yard for them to explore. I am nervous about Bubby being outside for the first time but I am sure he will do fine and love it. Keep your fingers crossed.

Sort of creepy but REALLY, REALLY good news...

So when I was younger (about 7-13) I was molested by a man that was considered to be a "son" of my grandparents. Well when I was 16 I finally told my Mom about it and turned into a mess. No one ever went to the police or asked him to stop coming around the family or anything like that. So it just sort of got pushed under the rug by my family and left alone. So all these years (I am going to be 29 next month) I have seen this man frequently and he still talks to me as if nothing ever happened. I HATE HIM and I had never told another soul until my hubby. Matter of fact I just told my brother last month because he asked why I hated this man so much.

So the point to this revelation....today I went to my parents and what does my brother say but talk to Mom she has some good news. So I go running to my Mom what, what, what is the good news????? She says guess who was arrested for lude and lacivous acts on a minor...it was him!!!!! He was caught and I finally feel a part of me that has felt unsafe all these years relax!!!

Ok so I know before some of you freak out cause I did too, why didn't they do something, they could have prevented it from happening etc. I honestly don't know I never asked until tonight and she said it was because they didn't want to put me through that. Do I believe it, no not really. Do i think that I forever had issues because they didn't do anything and becuase I felt as though they didn't believe me, YES!

But I am still relieved in my own way. I can finally feel justified and finally feel a bit safe, if that makes sense.

Sorry I am rambling but I am just so relieved in so many ways.
