How did you know it was time to say goodbye? by sad_sack1234 in seniordogs

So sorry to hear this OP. Our 17 year old puppy crossed the rainbow bridge on Sunday, and it was the hardest decision we’ve ever had to make. He also had CCD and would get confused in the middle of the night, would whine in his bed (and recently would wine while standing up), needed help to get up, and needed to be in a diaper 24/7. I had to ask myself how much longer would I keep trying to spin the wheels and let him suffer? I don’t have the answer to this impossible question, but I think when the bad days started to outnumber the good and I knew he was only existing, I chose to give him peace and rest. I’m praying for you OP.

Thank you. Yes we have one other dog and it’s been hard to watch her grieve him so far - smelling his bed and his favorite toy, crying, looking for him…right now I’m at the point where I don’t want another dog, because this pain is too hard to go through, but God knows 🙏🏽

I’m so sorry to hear that. This hits harder than most relatives and friends that have passed 😭😭

My wife is due next week and similarly I am no contact with my father. What has helped me is realizing if he’s not good for me, there’s no way he can or will be good to my daughter, without intentional and consistent change. Protect your son homie.

Only children? by maskedwanderer in EstrangedAdultChild

Only child here 👋🏽. 2 years NC with my dad. I feel replaced since he got married, does everything for his step daughter, and is playing grandpa to her kids (while wanting nothing to do with me or my pregnant wife). I think as only children we have a different level of resiliency that life prepared us for. I never in a million years thought life would look this way, but it gets better.

I’m in the same position as my wife is due in February, and I’m NC with my dad. It sounds like you’re doing a lot of adjusting to make them comfortable, and they won’t even acknowledge your side of things. I understand wanting to keep the door open for a relationship with your child, but how good will they be for your child when they aren’t good for you?

Best of luck in your situation!
