I can't help it...feeling lonely and angry today especially at the world for my illness which has taken everything from me...but I walked my dog in the neighborhood and was relieved to hear a couple bickering in their home as I walked by and to know that it's not all happiness today for everyone.

I would seriously be thankful for the dog if I were you. I would not be saying that the illness has taken EVERYTHING. What is the name of your doggie?

Hi Hamster. My chocolate lab's name is Bosco. And during my first depression I actually convinced my family and H to give him up...so we did but when I got better/manic we got him back from the animal rescue. Crazy. I can barely be responsible enough to walk him now ugh

To make things worse my H and I are headed for divorce and he will be getting the dog, which is ok with me since I am a mess.

Without visitation? I know some people get visitation.

Could you ask for visitation with Bosco? My children and my dogs keep me going when things are really bad.

That's just funny!

Yes thank you I would definitely be able to get visitation since he is a HANDFUL, even at 9 years old! So I'm sure H would be happy for a break at times.
