I was married for twelve years but had no children, but I had something BETTER than children. I had a lovable chihuahua that I loved more I ever loved my children, but as a condition for a non-contested divorce, he got custody of her. Since I had to move outside the US, I agreed to let him keep her.
Recently, I found out that my ex husband had to give my precious chihuahua away because he couldn't afford to take care of her. I'm most heartbroken and everyone I talk to is minimizing my pain, saying "It's only a dog". Frankly, I don't think I would feel any worse if I had lost one of my human children.
I know there are millions of people who love their pets and consider them an integral part of their family. Why is it that not everyone understands that kind of love?
