i lost my anger and got abusive towards my dog ive been abused alot in my life for being 20 what should i do?

Answer 1

You should address Your issues , you have been through alot and you need to resolve the issues or else you will continue to take it out on others and innocent animals. But with your dog, try to always remember- they are loyal to you, depend on you for care, food, shelter and Love. And all they want is Love from you in return. Try to use your dog as therapy- hug them and pet them and let them be your best friend. Also remember the dog is innocent, just like YOU were when you were young. You have to be the dog's voice and protector now.

Answer 2

If your issue of past abuse is effecting your current life, and manifesting itself in a way that may be harmful to others, you should probably see a therapist. I'm sure the last thing you want to do is keep the cycle of abuse going. If this is the only time you've been abusive to your dog and you think you can control you anger... things may be ok. You did not say how abusive you were to her. If you think you will continue to lose your temper and take it out on the dog... rehoming the dog will be the best option until you can work through your issues. Good luck.

Answer 3

I think you should re-home your dog. Take anger management classes. I am sorry to tell you this, but if you can abuse your dog once, you will do it again. You should not have a dog if you can not care for it. It doesn't matter that you lost your temper, you still abused the dog, you have no right to abuse anyone, human or animal. First find a new home for your dog, and then go and get some therapy, you really need it. And who knows, maybe one day you can own a dog again. But please, find a good home for your dog for now.

Good luck to you.

Answer 4

I'd say when you start to feel like you are getting angry, step back, and calm down. I'm not trying to be mean, but maybe you should find the dog a new home, until you get your anger issues fixed. I know you wouldn't want to really hurt your dog, what if one day you can't handle it and kill it? Then you'd regret that your whole life, why not let the dog have a safe home until you feel that you can own a dog without abusing it... I'm really not trying to be rude, but that's what I think is best for the dog.

Answer 5

Then you know how the poor dog felt, being abused for unknown reasons. You need to just walk away until you calm down, if that isn't possible for you, then you need to re-home the dog asap. Get some help, I also was abused in my first marriage, but I have never taken my anger out on my pets, children or friends, I remember what it felt like and would never want to make anything else feel that way.

Answer 6

When you are angry, go someplace that is comfortable for you, with no dogs, no people, no anything. Use this "quiet zone" to regain your composure and let your anger go.

It sounds like you are still carrying a lot of hurt from your own past - have you tried talking with someone about this? If not a counselor, even a friend. Sometimes, by just talking and letting your feelings out, the hurt and anger go away.

As for the dog, as long as the dog is not physically injured, and it was only a one time thing, they will soon forgive and forget. Just make sure it does not become a habit.

Answer 7

You need to get rid of the dog, quit blaming everyone else for your problems, and go to a counselor. Just b/c you were abused, and by the way I am very sorry about that, doesn't mean that it's ok to be an abuser. You obviously know it's wrong or you wouldn't be asking what to do.
The dog doesn't know why you hurt it, and will come back for you to love it, if you don't want to get rid of it, and that is for it's own safety as well as your own as animal abuse is a crime in which you can get in trouble for, the next time you lose your anger, work it out another way. Like going for a run, or going to a boxing class or the gym or s/thing.
You should never hit or abuse another living thing, ever, no excuses.
Good Luck and God Bless

Answer 8

Don't abuse your dog. Simple. If he's hurt, take him to the vet. If not... never do it again.

I'm sorry you've been abused, but that's absolutely no excuse for abusing anyone else... ever. So don't blame what other people have done to you for your own actions... YOU abused your dog. Therefore, YOU'RE abusive. Take responsibility for yourself and do what it takes to stop that, whether it be just walking away when you're angry or getting counseling. Blaming other people for what happened in your past (or present) isn't going to help your dog, now is it?

Answer 9

When you are getting angry walk away, go do something. Maybe consider counseling to help with your anger problems, if not for any other reasons, than to help your dog. It is not your fault but it is something you need to deal with, It does not go away. trust I know from experience. You have to find an outlet or a way to deal with it or you may oneday really lose your temper and harm your dog seriously
