I know I am taking her statement out of context, but ya gotta love when you can see RIGHT WHERE your issue comes from. When I was a young married, my cat ran away (I was so dumb, I hadn't had her fixed yet, she came back a few days later), anyway I was crying (very unusual) and my dad said, very angry, "That's why I never get attached to anything, you just end up getting hurt!" I remember thinking, even me, dad? I had no clue. Still pretty much don't!
