Sheeba (my mom's dog)

[MonicanHonda]

Poor baby girl. I am so sorry for you to have to deal with an alcoholic dad. I have dealt with alcoholics also. My mother is in ALANON and she's had to deal with a lot of drunks also... We've learned that it's not your dads fault that he does this... it's the alcohol... It has become a sickness and he can't help it now. I know we think they can, but they can't. It's just like someone with cancer, or a disease. He really needs help, and he needs family to stand by him, no matter how hard it is for them.

Wow, I don't mean to sound like I'm preaching... and I DEFINITELY know how hard it is to forgive... my own father threatened a month or two before my wedding not to come because my mother was going to be there... LONG STORY... they're fine now though. >.>

I just hope this pup finds a new home with someone that will care for her... *hugs*

I understand how angry you are with your Father. I have spoken here
about my Dad. He dumped my puppy when I was a kid. I lost all respect for him. It was like he took a knife to my heart.


I do hope Sheeba finds gental hands. Prayers for Sheeba & your family.

Oh Anna, I'm so sorry for your mom & you, having to go thru this. Please remember that Sheeba has a loving Higher Power looking out for her, too. I'll be praying she makes it to a safe haven.

I am sorry Anna, that this happened and that I completely missed it.

Poor Sheeba, she never really had a chance. She seemed like she could have been a really sweet girl under other circumstances.

Lots of thoughts and prayers for your mom.

Thank you for all your kind and loving posts. It really means a lot to me. I have been tore up about this since mom told me

My mom tells me I should forgive him too. After 47 years of this type of stuff of course she does I just can't, not now any way.

I know it's a disease and wish he would get himself some help because he won't take any from us. He doesn't drink every day, but you don't need to drink every day to be an alcholic. Like I said, after 47 years...I really don't see him changing.

Once again, thank you all for being here and letting me share this.
