                    Maintain your dignity. You can't cave to save closness because then
                
                it is no longer closeness but placating to the powers that be. You are an honorable and good woman you do not need to make amends in order for them to correct their problems. They will have to work through them. They, right now, are allowing you to be the problem, therefore not mending their own deficiencies. Don't get hurt because knives are flying in a show about the wrong aim. At least that is my take on what I hear.

  Good for you, even feeding the bird and letting him listen to the birds on TV. Priceless thinker you are sis.

                There seems to always be a compromise! And can I assume that the cat and the bird get along fine . . . in other words, there's no chance of one being attacked by the other?

                It is healthier to take a pause when there is heavy tension and allow emotions a cooling period. Neato about the birds; I bet they have a blast tweaking (?) away..:) Great to see the Smile!

                If anybody can work all this out and make it right, it will be you.
