I am so delighted to hear that you are keeping Tyson. The little girl can come see him at any time. The mom was not concerned about how the little girl will miss the dog. I get the feeling that she only worries about herself. I am alot older than you, so please listen like I were your mom. Please run from this girl as fast as you can. My beautiful daughter is in a terrible relationship. Her BF sounds like your girlfriend. I know the split is so difficult. In the long run you have to think of your future. If she is still partying at her age that should be sign one. Sounds like she has a problem accepting responsibility. As long as you take the abuse, she will keep dishing it out. Surprise her and do not wait for her to leave. Throw her out. Call her mom to come get her. This will shock the H--- out of her. I told my daughter the same thing I am telling you. He treats her the way you said your girlfriend treats you. You have to take charge of your sanity and get rid of her. Do not let her sweet talk her way back. My daughter broke up with him and was on the path to recover when he kept begging her back. She fell for it . She is living with him and his family, and she is not allowed to see or talk to us because of his abuse. He is 27 still living at home with 2 college degrees and a fabulous job. Something is wrong. I wish my daughter could meet you. You sound like a nice person. When it is the right person, you do not have to work as hard as you are on the relationship. It just happens and you will know when it is right. This sounds like you are giving and she is doing all of the taking. Take this time to get away. She does not sound like mother material, and certainly not wife material. Please do not let her try to take the dog. She will try to use him as a tool to get to you. You bought him so he is legally yours. I would give anything for my daughter back. Please run, run, run, as fast as you can. She sounds bipolar like my daughters BF. Sweet one moment and crazy the next. You and Tyson can live a happy life. Don't you know that he will be your chick magnet. You may find the girl of your dreams walking your dog. I know that you think I am probably an old woman and crazy for telling you all this. I have been where you are. Got out of a bad relationship, while in therapy found my husband. We met on a blind date, engaged in 4 weeks, married in 7 months. I really do know first hand what I am talking about. I hope you kick her out, you deserve to be treated better. I wish you could meet my knock out daughter. She is a dancer. Great legs. Graduated from LSU. Maybe she will get tired of the way she is treated and do something about it. You can do something. Please do the right thing.
I will pray for you,
Cindy
