Well said! It is distressing when a family member is upset and fearful of something we love. My sister and I share a common feeling she does not like snakes at all, I am not very comfortble around horses. She has horses I have snakes. WE deal, I wish she will come over and at least look at them but it is not going to be anytime soon. I love her with all my heart and wish she would at least see the animals I care about. I understand the fear I have met her horses and have touched the nose and such but go riding with her... I am not ready yet. I am fine as long as there is a fence between us. (not a fan of the eletric fence she comprimised and build a 20 foot section of post and rail for me...)

Sad yes but fear is fear and I cannot make her over come it she will have to do that on her own.
