So far I've not shed a tear during the past week of stress and emotions but that almost did me in.
I caught a mouse by the leg in a trap, and it was alive and wounded. I took it outside and let it go, and its poor little leg was so hurt... But I just couldn't kill it. So I left it there and came inside and cried like a baby. Feeling like an *kitten* for leaving it alive and feeling like an *kitten* in general.
Sigh.

This sort of thing kills me. I cried when I swatted a moth once and it didn’t die. I couldn’t stop thinking about the way it flailed around. So that’s why in our house if we see a spider or something walkin around, we just leave homeboy alone1 -

You have a three legged mouse in your home now. My ex-girlfriend used to get me to come over to kill the mice she caught by the legs in those things. I was a glorified cat.2 -

I hate it. I can't stop it and hate feeling guilty when killing a fly. I hate thinking about how the hook feels when I'm fishing. I hate worrying about whether they feel pain.
And I CAN HEAR ANOTHER ONE FLOPPING AROUND IN A TRAP RIGHT NOW. WTAF!?!
FFS Stay out of my house you stupid mice! I don't have enough left in me for this right now!1 -

I usually shout: " Death From Above, B*tch !!! " just before swatting a fly.
This way it adds a little sport to the execution.4 -

I love my Grandad but he makes me so angry. I don't agree with any of his behaviour or beliefs. We are not talking at the moment and it hurts but I can't have my children be around all the negative behaviour. 😔
I have this problem with my dad. He doesn't realize how hurtful he can be sometimes, and he can be quite racist and intolerant. Plus my youngest has cut off all her hair and he just won't stop telling her how she should grow her hair and go back to being his blonde little princess...
It's really hard because you want them to have a relationship with these family members, who may not be around for much longer, but you also don't want to expose them to toxic behaviour. I feel your pain.1 -

It's sad
My Grandad is racist and my children are mixed race. I have to put them first but it does hurt not having a good relationship with my grandparents anymore.
My dad is a homophobe, and my mom is a very devout Christian... my youngest child is starting to come out, and it's very scary because they are already struggling with wrapping their head around what they feel inside... they don't need my parents hurting them or shaming them in any way. We've decided not to tell my parents just yet, but they can say things that are quite obnoxious without realizing it.
In the end, we have to do what is best for our kids, realizing that few memories are better than bad memories. *hugs*2 -

Me too. Very few things will I take a swatter to inside the house, hornets and wasps are one(okay 2). Everything else I leave alone. But mice I do trap, only because of the damage they can do and the germs. But I hate it, I really do. I always apologize as I put them in the trash. And after yesterday's squirrel event, I am still feeling so sad and like a murderer. Every single time I drive by I relive running over it and turning it into roadkill.
That's the 3rd time in my life that I've killed something with a car, the 1st was a bird while I was skipping high school 1 afternoon. Figured it was my payback. Then when dh and started going out, I backed over their cat. I never knew til I saw him the next time. I was horrified. The cat was little and deaf. Then yesterday.
I absolutely hate it.
A few years back I had a family of cute little red squirrels living in my walls; I ended up live-trapping them all and re-homing them far away.4 -
I got over a lot of squeamishness about mice growing up, because we had fields on three sides of us, and so when they harvested every year and the weather got cold, we had mice.
We also had a cat, who liked to catch the mice and field dress them and leave them in front of the stove.0 -
Releasing them injured is probably less humane than just dispatching them immediately.
Catch and release reminds me me of these videos...

I just realized that posting this video without explaining makes me look like a Jerk! 😐 If the situation would be real, I definitely wouldn't laugh or post it so others can laugh at it either. It's actually a prank, he goes in a bunch of stores and does the same thing. It's a longer video but I made it into a Gif.1 -

I have similar issues with close family members, including my mother. She's racist, despite having friends who aren't white, thinks "brown people" are taking all the jobs away from Americans despite hiring them for things like her wedding cake, decorations, etc. (this was back in 2000). She's mellowed a lot, but honestly? Her adamant dislike of people who aren't white, who are poor (despite us never being affluent) is just... weird and makes me incredibly uncomfortable.
The only thing that helps is distance. I live in another state, so I see her maybe once a year and that's about all I could handle. Again, she has mellowed, but I know she still holds these beliefs. And unlike a casual acquaintance or friend, I don't feel like I could just cut her out of my life entirely. She does realize things in the world are changing and she's in her 70s now, but honestly it's exhausting dealing with it.
I also don't want her teaching any of those values to my son. I don't need her spreading those seeds of hatred and fear in him. As I've said, she's mellowed, but still holds onto some ideas and thoughts I'd rather not be spread, which makes talking to her for long periods of time difficult sometimes.2 -

I'm proud of you for making an effort and for being safe.1 -
The feeling of panic when you attempt to get on your favorite forum, only to get technical error pages, one after another, telling you to try again in a few minutes. After trying for an hour, you think, did they kick only ME off and everyone is still back there having Saturday night fun??
Ugh, the amount of dependence we build onto certain people, places and things.
