She is about 8 months old now, but even when she was a tiny kitten she was always just kind of rough. She is cute, great personality, but very independent, loves to be outside, and if we try to pet her she sees it as time to play, every time, and plays very rough. Do some cats just have this personality and you can't change it or is there a way to teach them to calm down once in a while and just be petted?

Calm down...
I've been right in your shoes. I know how it feels to be a wreck. First, find a place that will do a free consultation. Call ahead and find out what you need to bring. Some will even do a phone consultation. I feel for you, I really do. It's not the end of the world, I promise. Every office I have had to deal with has been nothing but nice and not judgmental like I was afraid of. In these times, it's happening more and they understand that.
Had to calm down and get some work done
Oh, I went to their bank, twice in face today, once at around 11:45, called the company back to let them know bad check, they said go back at 2, well still the same. After going to swear out warrant (which is running me ragged) and not being able to take care of that today, hubby told me to come home, collect my thoughts and try to work which I have done. Tomorrow morning is my new ceramic class so that will be some therapy for me. Off Friday so will focus on that once again. My acct, by the way, at same bank and if I deposited in mine and no funds there in theirs, mine is charged.
I have no idea how you are being so calm! What someone did
to you is a federal offense, punishable by a LONG TIME in prison. If that happened to me you can bet I would be raising cain, pressing charges and anything else! 2,420? That would be my entire livelihood. I have 3 little mouths to feed and diapers to buy.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. But, thanks for letting us know. I just completely closed out my PayPal account (2 of them, actually) because of your post!
I'd try to stay calm, but (sm)
One thing I told my now-husband years ago was that I had to have honesty enough to know if he needed something from me that I was not giving, that he was not to go looking elsewhere for something without asking for it at home.
In this day and age, with STDs being they are, there is no excuse for adultery. It's not just thoughtless and hurtful, it's irresponsible with someone's life.
As far as being calm, I'm just not sure temper or tears works in a situation like that. I think many men "turn you off" when you get in that situation and nothing gets heard or accomplished, and something needs to get resolved with you guys PDQ.
Unlikely tumor, so calm down. I find I have it when I'm
xx
Thanks for coming back and telling us...please calm
We are praying that the tests are fine!!! You're talking only of liver function tests and hepatic profiles, correct? Any further blood tests take awhile to come back, the PCR viral load for example - it's sent, if I remember correctly, as a frozen sample......but that comes later after regular blood work....
Fingers crossed the kids pass all tests!!!!!  
You are doing the right thing to calm down and get more info before talking (sm)
I do think you need to talk to him soon, but you are wise to wait and not just attack him with it. Like the poster below said, it is nothing you did, and he is probably confused. It would be great if you two could end up being really good friends after this...I am sure he does love you. He will probably feel awful to know that he has hurt you. You are smart to stay calm and keep researching.
No, I would not say that you overacted. How is your child? When you calm down talk to him about it
I am sure that I don't have to tell you what to say. Just wait until you calm down.
One time I was typing on a calm Sunday evening and my son came into the room...
said, "I told you we should buy me a new bike," and I looked up at him and his arm was all bloody and his left flank and hip were all bloody and grungy, I shot off an e-mail to whoever was there on Sunday night and took him to the ER with a broken arm. Bike was also unrepairable. By the way, I offered to buy him a new bike not too many days prior to this incident and he said he didn't need one.
