Hi everyone, I'm venting...
My mom and step dad are probably going through a divorce.They've been separated for going on 2 years. However, my children know my step dad as their grandfather. He has been there for them in such loving ways, and has always loved and appreciated them. My mom can be very toxic, and to be honest, I knew this day was coming, that my mom and step dad would divorce. Why? because my mom is a person who never apologizes, causes a lot of drama, always plays the victim, and never takes responsibility for the chaos she causes. So, bring us to current day, and my mom is angry that she is likely headed for divorce. My son had his birthday party recently and everyone except my step dad came. My son was very sad, but grandpa did come to the house before the party (a week before), with a cake, a gift, and we had dinner and enjoyed his company. After the party my mom asks if I invited my step dad. I say yes, and explain how he came over, etc. Long story short, she screamed at me (I'm 40 years old, married 14 years) said I betrayed her, etc, etc. I stayed calm, and she continued screaming, then proceeded to hang up. A few days later, my sister calls me, tells me shes on mom's side, since she's "loyal". My mom texts me saying I betrayed her, and thanks my sis for being on her side. My mom's argument and my sister's argument, is that I should not be keeping in contact with my stepdad. I tried to explain that my boys did nothing wrong and they are allowed to keep their relationship with their grandpa (my stepdad). Well suffice it say, my mom, my two sisters, and my grandmother are up in arms about my position. I was so furious when my sister told me everyone was mad at me I said I DON'T GIVE A F@#$, OK!! MY BOYS CAN HAVE THEIR GRANDPA!
My mom sent me a text, and I only read part of the text, because I was deleting the text. It read, "I wonder if your children...." . I cannot get it out of my head...she's removing the relationship to them as her grandkids, and saying YOUR children. WTF!!! I can't stand that she gets in my head. My sister also sent me a barrage of nasty texts. I put my mom and my sister's numbers as spam numbers, so I don't get their calls or texts. For the last 2 weeks I've been angry, but basically keeping to just my hubby and my biological dad. Today was the first day I cried. I'm crying now. I'm sad. Why are they doing this to me?
To my boys? Why would they want to see them sad? This hurts so deep. For those with kids, you know what it's like to protect your kids...but this effects me at a visceral level. I'm thinking, don't F@#$ with my children. They're little.6 -

Awww hugs.. 😔 youre in a tough spot.
I was in a similar situation , but I stuck to my guns (my brother and mother against my sister) over time my sister, my mother and brother now talk to me .. though they have not spoken to each other in over 20 years.. it's sad. And totally sucky to be stuck in the middle.3 -

Your mum and sisters are gaslighting you. You can't appease everyone. You have your children's emotional growth to consider. He is their grandpa. Children don't understand separation or divorce. The other adults in your life need to grow up. Why force your children to choose sides? It's juvenile .

After you told me I did a little bit of research and this is what I've read:
1. Be honest about what's happening and that this is what's best for your dog.
2. Explain the concept of dog years and how dogs don't live as long as people, so your dog being put down is a normal process.
3. Don't be afraid to show that you're upset too.
4. Give them lots of hugs and comfort.
5. And this is my own advice which I said before: explain that your dog knows how much she loves him and that she helped give him the best life possible.
Thanks Meg, going to have to come up with something enjoyable for her to do on Sunday to distract her I think!MANBEHINDTHEMASK_ wrote: »Working out the best way to tell my little girl her best friend is going to ‘Doggy Heaven’ on Monday

There is nothing I could add to make you feel better about the inevitable task of informing your daughter and you all losing a member of your family to "Doggy Heaven."
I was 9 when my dog died protecting our family home from thieves, and I remember crying for weeks. She was my baby. The one I told my inner most thoughts to. My first real BFF. I agree with Deadlifts ... Bite the bullet and tell her the truth in the gentlest possible way.

this is random but please stay in the room with the pup when they do it (if she cant it’s understandable but like someone the pup knows should be there with him). a vet told me that when u leave and it happens they can panic and look for you to comfort them but you are gone, and it was so sad that it stuck with me.
sorry for your loss too
I'm going to remember this ..

I'm so sorry.
One thing I can say is if you are trying to explain this to a young child never say the animal is "going to sleep" or being "put to sleep". Apparently it can cause anxiety for some children, the thought of "sleep" associated with death.2 -
Look I’m just tired. I’m tired of fixing things. I just want to rest.
That’s what’s on my mind.6 -
The thought of not ever be able to talk or hear someone you grew up with all your life, because of the life and death circle. Stay Strong!1

I was in a good mood for about 15 seconds and thought I might take advantage of it.
Those 15 seconds are now gone.5 -
