If I were in your place, I would want to get it out on the table. I like to get my intricacies out on the table so I can get a feel for whether they have the capacity to understand I am a little different in how I process things. This is a good question too by the way. I think a lot of us need feed back and can relate to this kind of topic. I am glad you have stopped cutting, let us know how cute the puppy is please .
