Thought help: What am I supposed to do? - Help.com

What am I supposed to do?

My mother is driving me up the wall. Seriously. Let me explain.

My puppy got sick a few weeks ago, and started getting an eye infection. I took him to the vet the same day, using up all my pay (I’m on unemployment benefits) for the bill and medications. The vet didn’t know what was wrong, except that it was a virus. It cleared up in a few days like the vet said it would, but last week, it came back.

Now, when I bought him from the pet store, they told me I needed to feed him a desert spoon of the canned puppy food and a table spoon of the dry food, 3 times a day. Which I did, actually, I gave him more the ammount, because I thought it was too small of a measurement. My mom started getting extremely paranoid a few days ago and insisted of taking him to the vet that night, she would pay for it, etc. I was told he was underfed, starving and he was almost on the brink of death. One more thing I needed to worry about after the weekend. So my parents “kindly” (or at least I thought so) offered to take him for just a few days, until I felt better. Which I am. Yesterday, she rings me and tells me she’s taking him to the vet again, to get his vaccination, and his two week worming. I was grateful, don’t get me wrong, but who’s dog IS this??

After they got back, she rings me and tells me that the vet has told her to keep him for 3-4 weeks, basically implying it was my fault, and I almost killed him. I was livid. (For those who don’t know from my other account, my mother had my puppy put down in Febuary because it was “too difficult getting the car in and out of the garage”. I don’t trust her around my animals for various other reasons, too.)

Anyway, so she calls me tonight to ask a favor, she wants to park the car in my driveway while they go to the football tomorrow. I said yes, on a condition. If she brings back my puppy tonight. Now this is what jerked me off to NO end) She tells me no, she’s doing what the vet told her to do, and he needs to settle in and get better. So I screamed at her, it’s MY dog, and it’s MY responsibility, I didn’t do ANYTHING wrong, and she was accusing me of not taking him to the vet when he got sick again, which I WOULD have if I could, but then of course, my mother, I can never please. If I had taken him, she would have lectured about my own food and expenses, and now that I didn’t, it’s called neglect. Like, what the heck??

I accused her of him not being there, and her taking him to a shelter to have him put down again, (I hope she feels guilty as HECK for that) and she’s sitting there still calming saying that the dog was mistreated (bullspit) and I shouldn’t have any rights. So I did the only thing I could do without telling her how much I’ve hated her my entire life…I hung up on her.

Conclusion: I’m really considering calling the police on her, and I swear to God, I am NOT taking it back this time when I say I never want to speak to her again. If she tries to park in my drive-way tomorrow, she’s going to get the message that she can just rack off. She can go PAY for a park for all I care. I’m done.

Oh, and for the record, I’m suing the pet store.
