T is a good person, you are lucky to have her as a friend. It's not easy, jj, but it can be done. Look at how important you are to others. Where would your son be without you ?? What would happen to Atrayu, if you didn't take care of him ?? I would miss you if you left the forum and I'm sure the others would too. Get the help that you need and hold your head up high, young lady !!!!

I had my kinka for about 8 yrs. I was sad to see her go but it was the best thing for her. I realized during one of my therapy times after I kicked out the ex that I used animals to feel good and called myself a rescue person. I was the one who needed rescue more then the animals. I had way to many for my own good or thiers. I had 3 sugar gliders , 2 guinea pigs , 2 dogs , the kinkajou and usually around 13 ferrets and whatever else found its way to my door . It actually added to my stress and anxiety. I have learned that I do not have to save every animal or have them as pets now.
Alpacas are easier to care for...but DH will never allow it...no more hoof stock.
I've stop replacing animals when they pass...so our herd has thinned out a lot...
My husband was dealing with his ex's animal issues when we met. She wanted to be a horse rescue /breeder. They had 12 Arabians when I met him . She had decided one day that farm livin wasnt the life for her but she was the onewho had asked for it all along. She left him with the 2 kids and 12 horses and moved to Tampa. Now he doesn't even want the 3 dogs we have . He is so done with pets and animals. 2 of the dogs are his oldest daughters so once she moves out they will go with her. I think they may die of old age before that happens though LOL.
Dave had 10 acres when I met him but he sold it to pay a lump sum alimony to his ex. I now live on a corner lot in a sub division. We do want to get a few acres though. I decided I like the country better then the city.
My early life was spent in a small city, but I am a country boy, although my town has become more of a suburb than country. Still, though, I have almost an acre on a quiet dead end street. If there wasn't over 500 acres of town owned woods nearby, for me to "play" in, I think I would be ready to pack up and move to somewhere quieter.
Only thing I didn't like was the isolation from other people if I wanted to see them. Originally he was going to keep the farm, I was gonna sell my house. I moved in with him and lived there for a few months. I felt very lonely there all by myself. Especially with the kids school schedules. I never could go anywhere without worrying whether I would be back in time for buses etc. I would like to have neighbors far enough away not to bug me or me bug them but not spend 20 minutes getting to a store to buy milk LOL.
I use to live on a dead end street at the end of a small sub division. I loved it there!!!
I still had neighbors but was sort of isolated---the best of two worlds.
EDIT: And only about five minutes from milk. LOL

My sub division is ok for me but we are running out of room in the yard . Dave has 2 trailers back there and all the tile for the business etc. I am surprised no one has called the county yet. We look like we are white trash if you look at the yard.
My neighbor across the street is an older cat man. He has a colony of feral cats he keeps. The problem I have with this is that they use the part of my yard that isnt trashed as thier personal litter box. My outside cat does an ok job of keeping them outta here but he can only do so much with all those cats. Oh ya lets not forget my Mom lives next door LOL I never have peace around here .
My compaint for the day is my car isnt working . I have been waiting patiently for the hubby to fix it but I am so done waiting. I feel trapped here. I am suppose to be at the counselor in 30 minutes . At this moment I am not even sure how i am getting there. Huby isnt home yet with the truck and bonus daughter is walking from taco bell to my mom's store to get her car to drive it to me. Maybe I will get there. I am so tired of the car being broken! Makes me want to just go buy a new one (as if) and show everyone how independant I can be LOL.
