My old, sweet dog died last week because my dad took her out into the rain without a leash, and she got hit by a car going 50 or 70 in an urban neighbourhood. She's dead now. I want to cry every time I think about her because I can remember the look she gave me when I left after visiting for thanksgiving. I didn't smother her with love too much before I left, and now she's in an urn.

My Dad also didn't attend my graduation because my Mom was there. I don't want to talk to him anymore.

My Mom has had series of emotionally (and sometimes physically) occurring meltdowns, increasingly in the last two years. They scarred me and when I confronted her about it she got mad, called me selfish. After the last outburst I was frightened to approach her, she laughed at me "It's over! Don't Make it worse!" I think I've become subconsciously averse to her because every time she's around I can feel this sinking feeling. Can't have an emotional connection with her anymore.

Doing alright for the most part but some days it completely crushes me.
