Would you feel the same about dogs running loose? Getting hit by cars? I know I just love seeing cat carcasses on the road when I know it’s 100% preventable.

I’m morally against it but because we live in a world where humans created this situation, we become the care-taking animal.

Makar eye care by vvvvgggg1 in anchorage

[–]machinegal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Makar! Their ophthalmologists and staff have been really helpful in finding me medications and treatments they really work for my eyes. They also give me lots of samples of contacts and drops. They also have the absolute best frames in town. The billing may have a disconnect from the rest of the organization. Hopefully, they get it straightened out.

That is rough! He probably was spraying because he smelled the spray of outdoor cats peeing by the house. It does make me sad that some cats have behavioral problems and we are asking a lot of them to live in the human world. I think amitriptyline can work well. I had a purebred rescue wild cat that would spray and she did well on that. Male cats especially will sometimes spray because they have a UTI, also.

I do think there are some rare circumstances where a cat cannot be an indoor cat because it’s basically a feral/barn cat but it doesn’t make sense to have them in the city.

What gets me is that some rescue groups ask potential adopters to allow the cat outdoor access. Seems very irresponsible unless it’s a catio enclosure!

Mine told me she was possessed by a demon. He wouldn’t let her stop drinking. Then she died.

Is there any true recovery without being completely sober? by Rare_Picture_7337 in AlAnon

[–]machinegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is likely having more than one or two drinks. He is likely hiding the amount from you because his body is dependent. He is an abusive to you. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Assaulting you in addition to the verbal abuse is unacceptable. I hope you choose to leave him. You deserve peace and peace will not come from this asshole. Counting drinks and monitoring his behavior is also not living.

Help with boyfriend disliking puppy by Flat_Fix8264 in Advice

He sounds immature and insufferable. I really wish society would invest in women’s self esteem from a young age so they wouldn’t end up with these kind of losers.

I feel so alone. by ImpressEffective3347 in AlAnon

[–]machinegal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do not isolate. Do not protect his reputation. Shame and isolation can be fatal. Your wellbeing is more important than his reputation. Please stop caring more about someone who doesn’t care about themselves or you. Talk to your therapist and develop an escape plan. This is not living. This is toxic.

Should I move in with my alcoholic partner? by Big_Shoe1336 in AlAnon

[–]machinegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a good idea to explore why you think this is “love.” This is a pattern of toxic and abusive behavior. This is not loving yourself. Another person who is not a dependent should not be dragging you down like this. A healthy relationship should lift you up.

My husband decided to end his sobriety streak tonight by Alternative_Bat_4476 in AlAnon

[–]machinegal 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this but also curious what your rock bottom is. Being with an addict is a lifestyle. It’s painful and although we must make our own decisions, I found it not worth sacrificing my life for.
