My kids have a place to stay (with their father), so I'm not choosing my dogs over my kids. If I go to a shelter, the kids will stay with their father anyway. I wouldn't mind rehoming one of my dogs, but I absolutely refuse to part with my Chihuahua, who is my emotional support animal. I've always been much closer to animals than people, and this is not something that I intend to change.

The problem with getting a place of my own is that, per my doctor, I can't work because of my illnesses (and I completely agree). I'm currently waiting for my disability hearing, but it's still several months away.

It's easy to give advice to a stranger when you don't know the whole situation. My therapist has even counseled me to stay where I am until my financial situation changes. It's just hard, and I come here for support. I don't think I have any options, and I feel trapped.
