Re: tw: animal abuse

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly anon…

This sounds like child abuse as much as animal abuse on your parent's part.

I don't disagree with that. But I still feel responsible for my part in it, and my inaction.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

You were a kid, anon. That alone reduces your responsibility. And when you have a parent that's giving you only toxic behavior to learn from, you're not responsible for not understanding the full scale of your actions at the time.

You've clearly learned from it.

I would say that the fact that you feel guilt -- even for something that's demonstrably not your fault -- shows how deeply you empathized and loved that dog. And that's why you'd would create a great home for a new, furry member of your family.

My advice: seek out information. Educate yourself on dog behavior and seek out as much professional advice as you feasibly can. I think it will help you feel more secure.

You aren't a bad person, anon. You internalized a lot of negativity from your parents, I would imagine, because it seems like your mom treated you the same way she treated your puppy

Note how quick she was to blame both you and your pup for things you couldn't help -- that were the result of youth and inexperience. Your dog was young and had an accident. You were young and might not have understood exactly what having a dog would mean (completely understandable). And yet your mom blamed both of you for making normal mistakes instead of being patient and trying to help.

You seem like you'd be patient with a dog and do what's best for them. Don't let other people's faults keep you from being happy, okay?

Thank you.

I have been doing research on dog behavior, to be honest. Not all of it has stuck (so far), but at least I can see things like socialization and lifestyle compatibility are just as important as training and caring for Fido.
