You poor thing! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! XXXXXXXX

Taking it all day by day

You Are Not Alone!
 

Chrissy, you have all of us at YT to support you through these dark and scary days. Your children will give you strength and we will be your "wall" when you think you just can't stand by yourself. Take care of your physical self, too! Hugs to you.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I'll pray for you and all your babies (skin and fur). Sending hugs

I totally agree. Do not rush into anything untill you have had time to think clearly.

Wait until you find out exactly what your financial situation and living arrangements will be.

So sorry you are going through this.

One day at a Time !
 

God Bless ! I hope everything turns out ok, give yourself time.

I, too, wanted to send you support - even though we have never and probably never will - meet. But, please know you will get through this - one day at a time - and it will make you stronger. You probably feel like you have to start making some life changing decisions in order to put your life in some type of order - but like most people said before me - do not make any quick decisions. See how things fall first, discuss everything you are thinking of with family and friends. Emotions are in the way now clouding your thoughts. Talk things out. Know that, if needed, your dogs will go to great homes to people who care here on YT. I hope you feel the support that everyone here has sent. I pray and wish you well.

Keeping you in my prayers...

Gosh im so sorry your dealing with so much, positive thoughts and prayers
for you :heart to

I am so sorry to be reading this. Take it one day at a time. You have a lot of friends here on YT to assist you. Just don't make any decisions in a hasty way.

I also sorry for this hard time:( hugs:animal-pa

I am so sorry that you are walking through this storm in your life. I agree that you should wait until the dust settles and see what happens. Know that I will pray for you and your children.

Thank you all SO much...
I am crying with joy over all the well thoughts, prayers and support everyone here at my YT family is showing.
Thank you rom the bottom of my heart. :rose:

So many stressful decisions to make.
My boys are so wonderful.

Going to write a book below now for stress relief :o)

Max is a "rescue dog" to me. When we bought him from DC Dog Finders he quickly developed many health issues that have since been resolved. When we contacted the breeder she refunded our money and said we could keep Max or return him to her. We knew if we returned him to her she would "put him down". I could not bare to sentence him to death.
We kept him and put thousands of loving dollars and time into making him healthy.
He had bacterial and fungal (ring worm) skin conditions, ear mites and ear bacterial infections, worms, ... you get the idea. I spent the first year of his life nursing him back to health. Shavings, ring worm dips, meds, ... finally it all paid off and he is a happy healthy dog. So loving and playful.
He is 2 years old now and has LP in his back legs. Stage 2. The vet says he may never need operated on. I can not put him though the surgery. He would never make it through the recovery process. It would kill him to be confined for any length of time. He is way to active and playful to be confined for the recovery and I know in my heart the surgery would not be successful because of this. So I am/have been letting him live out his happy life until the day comes that I know he is in to much pain to go on. He is such a loving boy and I am happy we gave him a life no matter how long or short it may be.
Mickey is my puppy from Breny (Brenda) here on YT.
He is 1 year old (this month).
Happy, healthy, loving, playful and quite a character sometimes-LOL
Living such a different life his first year than Max had.
My boys mean so much to me but I know if I have to re-home them it will be what is best for them. They really are my "fur babies".
I am doing as everyone has said and trying to calm down and think clearly. Taking my time in my decisions is important.
I have 2 girls ages 14 and 10. I have to put them above my fur babies.
Things are so stressful with my DH right now. I raised his 2 girls as well. So we had custody of 4 girls. 8 years I raised them. They are now 17 and 19 and off to college (freshman & sophomore). They are going through the adolescent "I hate my mom" (step-mom aka me) stage. It is SO PAINFUL.
Anyone who has teen girls will know what I mean. It causes so many fights between my DH (their father) and me. That we are/ have talked about separating or divorce.
All of this together is just to much for me to handle. I am seeing a therapist and on meds (maybe too much info).
My pups are a comfort to me but a lot of work too. I want them to be happy and cared for.

Sorry I went on so long but it was really therapeutic to write some of the stresses out. If you read this...wow. You are really brave :)

Chrissy, my heart goes out to you. I can totally relate as I raised hubby's 2 teenage boys. My problem is that there was a #%$#%$ ex-wife who was sabatoging anything good that was happening with/to the boys every chance she could.

I know exactly what you mean about the stress between you and your spouse as kids are definitely a stressor. I used to get the "You don't have kids, so how do you know" comments. Uggghhh! You don't need kids to see that the kids are manipulating each parent.

anyhow, feel free to pm if you need a shoulder. Hugs,
Bo

I have a suggestion that may help with the older girls... (I'm not a parent but this is what my mom did when my step sisters went through this phase when we were younger).

If you're with them and they are getting mad at you, just kindly walk up to them and give them a big hug and say I love you... they'll probably think your nuts, but later on they'll remember that later on...

Hang in there, we're all praying for you. Just take it one day at a time, we're all here to listen if you need a theraputic rant!

Chrissy, I can relate to what is going on with you at this time and I understand your pain. My 37 year old daughter was blind sided 2 1/2
months ago when her husband asked for a divorce. Doesn't love her....yada yada.
Anyway...they were stationed in Virginia and she ended up coming back to Texas 7 weeks ago with my 2 grand daughters 17/19. She personally drove a huge moving truck by herself with her daughters following her in the car. She found a job within 2 weeks, we moved her into her rent house this last weekend she appears to be settling nicely.
I am so proud of her strength and you can do this too. It is painful and your questions will never be answered to your satisfaction but you will survive and look back on this one day with a different view.
By the way she brought her 2 French bulldogs with her and her Schnauzer and they are making the transition very well.
Now that they are near us again we are all enjoying life together, supporting each other emotionally and moving forward. I have more grand doggies to love, I get to see my grand daughters again and my daughter has the emotional support she needs.
She has cried many tears and will cry many more but she is beginning to realize that in many ways she is better off.
Best of luck to you and if you need to chat feel free to contact me.

Wow. I give you coodos right off the bat for handling this so well. I hope everything works out for the best, and in a few years, you're able to look back on this and know that it was for the best.

I wish you the best of luck and sincerely hope that everything works out for you, your girls and your two boys.
