Friends Parents Hide Dead Pet
What about it?
I don’t want to send to many messages of the conversation I had with my friend, as it’s hurt them deeply, but I need to talk about this.
My friend and I often talk about our issues with one another, but one thing often brought up is the mistreatment of them from their parents. Usually, it’s just the mom that’s the issue. My friend is non-binary and feels uncomfortable in woman’s clothes, yet is forced to by her mom. (Mother is kind of a old fashioned person, thinking a woman belongs in the kitchen and stuff.)
However, both parents this time fucked up in my eyes.
My friend was on a trip to New York, and while there their dog got ran over by a car. This happened on July 11th. A death of a pet can hit someone hard, that’s fair. However, my friend was never told about the dogs death. They went until yesterday, August 2nd, thinking the dog would great then at home. Their parents and sister tell them they didn’t want to “disrupt their trip†despite the fact they didn’t even want to go to New York, and kept them in the dark.
They returned to their moms house to be given a collar, box of ashes, and a stone with her paw print in it.
I’m not one to get boiling angry, but this is just messed up. It had been almost 3 weeks since the dog died and they had heard nothing.
I don’t want this post to spread for clout, but to give them support. They deserve it.
I’d like to ask if you guys can say some nice things in the comments for me to show/tell them.
I tried posting this but had some issues, here is a repost.
