Emotional Support Dog

After my father's death, I became so emotionally unstable and I have had a lot of trouble motivating myself to do anything including being alive. My dog came to live with me 2 months ago because she gave me a sense of purpose having to take care of her and she helped me pull my self together and comfort me. I had been doing much better with her by my side and for the first time since I lost my dad I felt like I had my life together and could move forward. Today she had to go live with my mom because of her health and I already feel myself back tracking. I miss her so much and I can't afford to be an emotional mess right now.

I've just been trying to visit her at my mom's house for now. She might come back to live with me eventually. I am a graduate student and do not have the time to get another dog or puppy and train them.

I see. Well, depending on what's wrong with her, maybe she could move back in with you after a while?

If not, have you considered getting another dog? (I don't know if that's something you would want to do, I'm just mentioning it in case you might want to).

In any case, it's very good of you to put the dog's health first and have her get the treatment she needs.  For now, maybe your Mom could bring her to visit you, or you could visit her at your Mom's house?

My dog's health. She has the resources and ability to take the dog to the vet and get the treatment she needs.

Your dog had to go live with your mom because of your mom's health, or your dog's health? If your dog's health, how is it better for her to live with your mom?

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
