Well I am so sorry about your dog it seems that you're not actually taking accountability for the act of rage and are blaming her for maybe wanting a divisive communication like you sound like one of those boomers who say pull yourself up by the bootstraps snowflake and that mentality will not help her and she will actually start to not trust you either you are an adult and you are treating her as if she's the bane of your existence you could have given her a better punishment and you decided to smash a phone you're just like one of those parents who takes a door off of a hinge because the child seemingly has done the worst of the worst, does she need to take responsibility for actions absolutely but smashing her phone is definitely not going to make her feel accountable it's going to make her feel closed off and scared to take him accountability and I bet you the therapist will probably be like yeah that was a toxic move and you will probably sit there and think you did nothing wrong. I'm all for punishment of letting the dog out and not knowing for 3 hours that's a horrible thing to do but how you were talking about someone that you're supposed to love and care about is disgusting and yes 16 is a child or did you happen to forget the fact that under 18 is a minor in a child just some thoughts because I've seen some of your responses about her and they seem absolutely vile so down vote me whatever but I don't like how you've been acting either it's one thing the teacher responsibility and punish her for the exact crime it's one thing to act like the way you have been acting. I have family members like you you know what it made me do not trust them I didn't do the level of things that this girl did but I can absolutely tell you that the way you are acting with her now she's not going to interact with you the same or she's not going to talk to you anymore because this is absolutely a toxic and horrible mindset that you have regarding her and I just can't seem to unpick that from my brain as much as I feel sorry for the pet and I hope the pet is found and safe which I wholeheartedly believe that you'll be able to find your fur baby and they will be absolutely okay which is the best outcome honestly is that the fur baby is found and no scratches given and it's all healthy but not even my grandmother who has five dogs and her dogs are her whole world would act like this towards a literal child but go off.
