Yes she wants enabling. I don't see how anyone enabled her to get in the mess in the first place.

This is so drama filled I would call your parents if I could.
Oh Jesus, what did I miss?? A 17-year-old dating a deadbeat dogpuncher? Awesome.

So I will not be using this forum anymore, thank you for your time
Oh, they don't lack understanding.

But you're right that they are focused on logic rather than emotions because that's what advice is all about - a cold, hard look at reality, rather than surrendering to your wants.

You started this thread with an appeal for solutions but it is clear that what you really desire is validation. Yet the fact that you couched your query in terms of seeking solutions should tell you that they - solutions, not validations - are what you need.

What you want and what you need are two different things. You need to realize the difference, then sensibly choose what you need. Is that hard? Yes. Life is hard sometimes. To paraphrase what John Wayne supposedly (but didn't really) say - it's even harder when you make bad choices.

Good luck to you.

Since you wouldn't like my advice all I will say is this:

Please rehome your dog. It shouldn't have to be abused because you have relationship problems.

... Who moved here from another country after she met him online and lied to her parents about him. He now lives with her in an apartment but has no job.



But we don't understand her love!
