"We Are All Alone" VERY LONG..sorry

[Kosmo's Mom]

I know that this post is over a month old but I just read it and had to reply.
You should hold your head high because you are a very strong person for taking the initiative to leave before things got any worse.
The great thing about owning a dog (especially a boxer) is that they offer unconditional love so you will never be alone. Things will get better now and you took the important first step in the right direction by getting out of a bad situation.
Good Luck to you & your 2 boys!!

Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

I do not live in your area but I did a search for dog parks in you area.

I just caught this post as well, i went through a similar thing with my ex-hubby, only he threated to steal my skin kid if i left him. i finally got the b*$$'s to say "go for it, because one day james will see his face on a milk carton and KNOW" you know, he never did! i found out he was a coward! It is toughest the first year, but it gets better, and low and behold a few years down the road you learn that you can do anything you want! what a powerful feeling that is!
If you are looking for something to keep you from being bored, try contacting the local boxer rescue, although you may not have room to foster, i bet they would love to have someone help out with phone calls, investigating potential adoptee's and such. Or you could work with any kind of community group like that, it may lift your spirits. Congratulations on moving on!

Good Luck and God Bless

Thanks again for all the words of encouragement!And I am so thrilled to find out about the Dog Parks...I can't wait to get Hercules out there...I can't allow Kuma off his leash, because he can climb any fence known to man...so I am afraid I'll have to leave him out...until I can get the nerve for him.But I can't wait to go!

Also I loved the idea about volunteering at a local Boxer Rescue...if anyone knows of one in Charlotte, please let me know....this computer & I don't get along too well...so I feel inept when trying to do searches.Thanks again!

Jessica, Herkie & Kuma

YOU GO GIRL!!!! You should be so proud of yourself. I know I am proud of you. You got out when the getting was good. If he will hit you with a notebook and throw stuff at you its no telling how long it would be before he started your harder objects or his fists. And who knows if he would ever hurt your babies!! What a Jerk!

Good for you for getting out of a bad relationship.

Its a little far from Charlotte but one of the rescues in the area is Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue.

Coming late to this thread; just want to say you deserve MANY KUDOS for the way you handled that situation. appicon appicon Hope things are looking up for you now that some time has passed and that you are getting your furkids settled into your new place. Take care of yourself! Your old bf didn't even deserve to be in the same place as you and those furbabies. Maybe some skanky place with cockroaches, but NOT with Boxers and a Boxer-owner!

Thanks for the support!We are doing GREAT!Somedays it amazes me at how happy I am...I guess I didn't realize how really unhappy I was...I was just living my life!The furbabies have adjusted wonderfully...I know the neighbors aren't thrilled to hear them thundering around here at 12:30am(when we come in from our walk after work)...but they sound like a herd of cattle!I love my townhouse, the boys are adjusted and happy!I love being able to do what I want, when I want & how I want to do it...and not have to worry about anything but my boys.I have money now....it amazes me how much he was draining me...I get to buy myself stuff, and the boys tons of stuff.I even found a place called the "Central Barkery"..I was looking online...and I am making an appt to get them bathed, MASSAGED...and their teeth brushed...and they also do skin exfoliating!After that, in a few weeks I am going to see my parents...and the boys will be going to a "country club"...I can pay extra for special walks and play time with them...we are ll just going to have sooo much fun!Now I want to know...why did I wait soooo long!But it's ok...because I am gone!And life is great!lovicon

Hi Jessica,

I don't find myself in this forum often, but ran across your post today. Congrats on making such a big decision and moving on with your life. It sounds as if you are much happier now, which it great.

I noticed in one of your posts you mentioned getting involved with local Boxer rescue. I am not involved myself, but I do frequently visit their websites! Here they are:

Jessica i haven't been online much at all over the summer and just found this thread. I want to say CONGRATULATIONS and I know you made the right decision. Truth be told I thought your BF was a jerk back when he gave your dog away. Thank goodness you got him back. Good luck to you and like you said things are much better now.
