It’s amazing the things you can hide when you’re living with your father in a two bedroom one bath house

Not involved with LJ Idol but just wanted to say that this was exquisitely written. A+.

Sounds like your routine with Pimento is really working for you.
Enjoyed reading this.

I love the perspective. AS someone who has developed unhealthy ways of coping, it's nice to see even a fictional person develop a way to deal with things that isn't necessarily healthy, but isn't necessarily wrong

blah blah love when people get mental health issues right

I can't tell if this is non-fiction or not! It's extremely well-written (and really fits the prompt), but a 2-bedroom house does not seem like the size of place that would have a backyard able to accomodate a horse!

He’s not my forever horse,
Felt a little pang at that, but a "forever" horse takes a lot more resources and space than a dog or cat, and that isn't guaranteed.

He's doing a great job now, and finding what works for coping is what matters-- no matter how unusual the solution.
