General Should i address this situation?

[Freida]

here's a quick comparison

Emotional support - a pet that lives in the house and can go on planes with you. Provides a calming support simply by being there. Doesn't provide any specific service so can't go into public places. Adult dogs, shelter dogs, etc are all fabulous options

Service dog - trained for a specific skill or task. (Mine has several tasks including blocking people from coming near me if my PTSD is acting up.) Goes everywhere with handler. Kind of like having a toddler. Best results come from some level of profession training starting as a puppy.

We have been looking at getting our pup accredited as a service dog. My vet takes her most places anyway, but it would be nice to know that she could go with him.

 

[Freida]

have you checked out the public access test? It's not required but its a good thing to have

 

[Sighs]

Its all a bit vague in our jurisdiction. We are trying to work with some people who are involved with the accreditation to find out what it entails.

 

[Freida]

Sorry. Forgot you weren't in the states!

Update...

So J is going through alot of bs right now. I mean ALOT!!!!! His stress is through the roof. And I'm getting the fallout. So today AT 715 in the gd morning his sister calls to talk about...it doesn't even matter. Set him off to puking and b*tching. My last straw.

I texted her in a not so friendly way that we couldn't help her. We had NO money for her. He has PTSD remember??? Nightmares! His stress is full blown right now. And why would you call at 7 f*cking thirty??

Well, she's so gd stupid she calls J back crying and f*cking tells him I texted her. Wtf. I don't even care anymore. I am so worried about him right now. Says he's gonna kill himself everyday. I'm trying to keep him safe. And she / they (his family) aren't helping. Couldn't care less. And only worried about themselves. F*ck!!

So I dealt with the rage. Again. That's fine. He can be mad. I really don't give a rats a** anymore.

We'll see how this plays out. I'll keep you posted.

oh hunny I am so very sorry..

I don't have words --- just so sad that both of you are going through this and his family is so freaking stupid!!!

hugs :hug:

Thanks Freida. He calmed down and we had a talk. I'm still so freakin mad at his sister. He doesn't want them to worry about him. I understand. But I can't deal with the backlash from their additional stress. It's more than I can handle right now.

It's a me day. Some retail therapy and lunch with bff. He's working today so that will distract him for the day. We'll get through this but he has to stop taking things out on me. It's wrong. And gonna make me lose my sh*t!!

Aggghhh!

Welcome to the dysfunctional family play list event!

Oh, and I am sure you know this already, but he isn't puking because she is supportive.

 

[LuckiLee]

I still want to call her and b*tch her out so bad!!! She posted a picture of herself and her son at a basketball game today. All smiles. I wanted to comment "I'm glad YOU'RE having fun!!"

Thanks for the much needed giggle @shimmerz!!

You might tell him he's doesn't have to worry about them worrying about him. I'd be willing to bet they'll only whey about themselves.

 

[LuckiLee]

That's pretty much what I told him. Seriously, he's the worst he's been in a very long time. He's going through so much and they still dump their crap on him.

I told him " I'm worried about you. You say you're going to hurt yourself everyday. And they don't give 2 sh*ts!" ....

I can't believe i was kinda expecting a call from her sometime today. You know. To make sure he was ok. After all I did say he was under so much stress and wasn't doing well. Stupid b*tch! Whatever!

This is really hard for me. I'm not used to all the dysfunction. I can handle his stuff. I love him. We're a team. But them? Can't do it.

I've always been one to stand up for myself and loved ones. I knew I couldn't keep my thoughts to myself forever. And it probably won't be the last time either. He's in a serious situation now. If he was in "normal" PTSD mode (< that's kinda funny ) I wouldn't have got involved. This. This is different. I'm afraid for him.

Thanks for letting me vent guys. Much appreciated!
