To this DAY I am upset by the fact that my mom wanted me to hide the fact that she ignored my instructions about my younger son and nearly got him killed.
To this day I adore the #horses that lifted their heads as he ran towards the river and basically said, "Okay," without hurting him. Because this kid dodged like 30 horses.
What a weirdass day.
Final memory, probably, in my life?
Being terrified to mount a horse, getting settled, seeing my toddler run through the pasture, and turning around to my mom who said, "He was really mad and I couldn't handle the sound."
NO SHIT, AND TOO BAD.
@Shelter holy crap your heart must have been in your mouth.
@Cryspeg
Yeah.
And I couldn't do anything but let the dogs and people who worked there bring him down.
@Shelter oh I bet! You can only be pushed so much, especially when it comes to the kids.
@Cryspeg
On my kid's behalf?
Yes.
Otherwise?
Not so much.
People, including my family, don't realize how much they pushed me and how much glee I would feel in retribution.
