I know exactly how you feel.
I've struggled with similar unresolved trauma and yes, we're kind of stuck in an emotional time capsule that injects itself into every thing happening now and it's brutal.

I also understand why your pets elicit stronger responses, after all, they've never abused you!

God Speed my friend, your baby knows you'll do right by him. Please give yourself permission to feel everything inside you, and please be comforted by the joy and happiness he so freely offered all these 15 years.

I'm sorry.
