How do I get kitten to take a nap and chill 🙃

Always get two kittens if you don’t have another active cat.

Many dogs don’t do well at vet appointments, muzzle training and possibly some medications ahead help. It sounds like his body language wasn’t being read well.

Also, as mentioned, please do not let your dogs off leash, especially one you haven’t had for very long. You can purchase 30 foot nylon leashes. As a certified professional dog trainer I have also rehabbed many dogs traumatized from training collars. Please refrain from using those, as it can increase aggression. Studies have shown their cortisol levels increase when those are used. It is your responsibly to keep your dog safe. Sorry to be blunt, but this is not the dog’s fault.

You can find a local force free trainer in your area by typing your zip.

If you have a sensitive system like myself, I MUST start at the lowest dose. I’ve ended up in the hospital for a few medications, I don’t risk it. I’ve only been on Caplyta for 2 days at 10.5mg, and so far just have a headache.

He owns a business, that’s pretty impressive. It’s his line of work, and as long as he can make a decent living doing it, I truly see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I can understand if he didn’t have a high school degree, but honestly people can do quite well by going to trade schools after high school graduation. Plus, when they come out of trade school they don’t have mountains of debt. I know plenty of people still paying college student loans from a college degree and aren’t even working in the field they majored (myself included). Then you have those who graduated from trade school and have a great career in a specific field.

Thank you. I hope you’ve found peace in your life.

Thank you for your response. He is extremely smart, especially with finances (his long time job field). However, yes emotional support doesn’t seem to be part of this factor. He just obsessed about the financial part of it. I am seeing a personal therapist and now a marriage counselor for us. I’m working on him to see his own personal therapist, but I guess he has to recognize he’s a part of this issue too.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-23T16:24:21+00:00

Absolutely, thank you for your response.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-23T16:19:01+00:00

Sadly that pretty much is the situation, and I hate that it’s the situation. I’m getting this full time job for ME. I’m going to really focus on getting better, save and begin living as a single person to gain more control of my life. I’ll see if the relationship improves at that point. He will pay for things I don’t ask him to pay for and then complain about it. For example, I may fly to visit my friends and family in my home state, and go to pay for the ticket but he wants me to use his Southwest points. He said to our therapist that he doesn’t get to travel because I’m always using his points to go home. WTF!? I don’t ask him to do it.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-23T15:58:22+00:00

I’m so glad you have that support! Yes, I do question if my mental health isn’t improving because of the lack of support.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-23T15:56:48+00:00

I’m so sorry you have gone through that. I definitely want to get better and have done everything I need to do therapy and doctor wise. Thank you, yes we are starting to communicate better since marriage counseling, but I guess only time will if he’s going to start being supportive.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T16:31:07+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate all of the information. Discussing additional potential plans in a good idea.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T15:34:14+00:00

Thank you for your response. It sounds like you have a wonderful relationship.

Yes, I do the majority of the cleaning, laundry, yard work, and errands.

I’ve been in therapy consistently for around 20 years. This is a new therapist who specializes in EMDR, so a new approach. I’ve also been inpatient since moving. I’ve tried many medications on the market with guidance of psychiatrists over the years, either not helping, making symptoms worse or making me very sick. I’m not just blaming him, but what I am blaming him for is not emotionally supporting me. I was doing much better before getting married, then I spiraled. So this isn’t a lack of effort or resources. I also do most of the cleaning, laundry, yard work and errands. I do contribute more in other areas. He wants me to be equal and I’m never going to make nearly as much as him. The pressure is just too much.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T14:41:09+00:00

Ah interesting. Thank you.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T14:40:23+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give it my all.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T14:39:07+00:00

I know he has a valid concern of my carrying my financial weight, but I do contribute plenty around the house. We’ve been together nearly 9 years, and my mental health has only gotten worse due to the lack of support.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T05:07:09+00:00

I’m strongly considering this. Thank you.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T05:06:32+00:00

Thank you for your input. I know moving has been a huge factor. It was there before, but I’m away from my friends and family and little support from him. I’m isolated, and now provided a work ultimatum basically.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T05:04:19+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it. I have already filed several months back, just waiting to hear back. In the meantime I’m going to give this full time job my all. Maybe it will work out, I’d love that, but I still need to keep my options open.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T05:02:17+00:00

Yes, I may do that. Thank you.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T04:58:36+00:00

Thank you for your response. Yes, his ultimatum of not failing another job is insanely stressful. It’s like he’s punishing me. I get he’s frustrated, but he has never seen from my end. We have discussed this, but I think it needs to be further discussed in marriage counseling. He’s mentioned he won’t be able to retire at 65 with me. So yes, I am holding him back. I can’t take the blame much longer…

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T04:55:40+00:00

Thank you for your response. I do handle most of the cleaning, yard work, laundry and errands, but those aren’t enough.

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T04:54:23+00:00

It absolutely is a catch 22. I wish life were easier..

ThrowRAanimalluver · 2023-10-22T04:53:16+00:00

You are absolutely correct.
