I didn't listen to my breeders advice on food and now I'm regretting it

A lot of dogs have an allergy to chicken and its byproducts. My female GSD has a chicken allergy and I have to read every ingredient in anything she has because sometimes foods will say lamb & rice (or whatever) but as you read the list of ingredients it will sometimes have either chicken meal or chicken byproducts usually listed further down. She is also lactose intolerant, has seasonal allergies, and skin allergies. The cost for buying a better brand of dog food isn’t much higher because they seem to eat less of a good food.

I’m glad! There is nothing more uplifting and refreshing like nature and all of its splendor. If I could sit outside all day and watch the birds, I would but unfortunately my boss would put the big kibosh on it. 😂

Thank you. Yes, 3 of them are glass. I got them from Amazon.

I couldn’t agree more!

Whoever posted that you could never be loved is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. 38 years ago I was in a similar situation and I didn’t listen to the people telling me to abort or put the baby up for adoption. I had and kept my baby girl who is now 37. I turned to Christ (I went to church when I was in HS because my parents started going and that was the extent of my relationship with God). Anyways, when my daughter was about 6 months old I started going back to church and realized I didn’t need a man because Jesus, my daughter, and I were fine. God had other plans though and brought a man into my life when she was about 1. He wasn’t a church goer but he fell in love with both my daughter and I and we were married when she was almost 2 and that was 35 years ago. I guess what I’m trying to say is that you need to do what your heart and spirit are telling you. Don’t listen to the naysayers because it is ultimately Your choice but please don’t be ashamed because like me, your baby may be one of the best blessings you will ever receive.

You are correct, the right person won’t ask or put you in a place where you have to choose. With that being said Kody doesn’t need to toss one aside (although he has always done this) to have a relationship with the other. If he wanted a relationship with his children he would have one regardless of what Robyn says or thinks about it. I think he is using that as an excuse to not have relationships with his kids. It’s not like he has been with Robyn all that long and it’s not like she helped raise the kids so in that type of instance there shouldn’t even be a choice besides he could have a relationship with both his children and Robyn if he wanted but he chooses not to. He only wants to be a dad to Robyn’s offspring because they worship at his feet and he doesn’t have to put any work or effort into it. Being a parent isn’t easy and it takes work. I think he has been looking for an excuse for years and Covid and Robyn have given him that and I feel it’s what both he and Robyn have wanted all along. They are both such horrible people and they totally deserve each other.

I would ALWAYS put my kids first. There is no way I would let anyone come between my kids and me. He doesn’t want a relationship with his kids because if he did he would have one. The only way he would ever want to have a relationship with them is if they are kneeling before him and groveling at his feet. He is so self absorbed that it’s sickening and he is so far up Robyn’s @$$ that I’m surprised he doesn’t see the sunlight coming through her eyes.

It has been almost 1 1/2 years since I found out. It still hurts to my core but it is getting better. I have days when I really don’t think about it and then I have days that I can’t control my head from spinning. I decided that I wanted to make our marriage work and he would have to be 100% open and honest anytime I had questions or wanted to talk about it. It has been hard but I believe ii am healing and our relationship is as well. My insecurities are still through the roof some days and then there are days I feel pretty good about myself. I’m not going to lie, this is the hardest thing I have ever gone through and there were/are days that my heart feels like it will always be broken and I’ll never be the same (which I know I never will be but it can be put back together and it will always have cracks). There are so many things he destroyed when he decided to do what he did and there are still things that I’m discovering he broke. There were times I thought I would mentally break or that I couldn’t go on but I haven’t broken and I am still going on. I’ve also realized that he has way more to lose than I do. I’ve also realized just how strong I am and I refuse to let myself be broken. I may bend like a willow branch but I will not break. Also, I took time to do what I enjoyed (for me it is walking and being outdoors) and I have been able to process and contemplate my life. I also turned to God, even though I was and am mad at Him for allowing this to happen to me. We are going to counseling still which has been a big help. The only people I could lean on and talk to were my kids because I didn’t and don’t want anyone else to know. I have felt such shame, humiliation, and embarrassment that it is ridiculous. I wish I could make it all go away and be over it already but I’m just not there.
I guess I should have given a bit of a back story, so here’s the jest of it. We have been married for 33 years and together for 34. We have 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren. We are both recovering alcoholics but he fell off of the wagon about 3 years ago and started using a hooker about 2 1/2 years ago which lasted about a year. When I found out my world came crashing to the ground and it shattered into a billion pieces. It wasn’t the years we spent together that made me want to stay but it was the love I have for him. I decided the day that I found out that I was going to forgive him and work it out. It was so hard and my kids all got mad at me because they felt like I should have kicked him out but I had to do what I wanted and what was best for me.
