Iam over whelmed .Lonely & have no fiends Or family near me.Iam acaregiver to my 58 yr old daughter ,She is a 19 yr survivor from a brain tumor.She never did anything to help herself.She let her brain just rot & now she has short term memory loss.& takes it out on me.I GOT HER A DOG TO MAYBE HELP HER.She never socialized the Dog because she couldn't walk far or she gets lost.Now the dog bit another dog & I lost my homeowners insurance.No claim was made.Ilove this dog so much & she loves me .She is a rescue amix about 40 lbs. Sorry I got of on a rant. but every day my daughter tortures me & curses me & blames me for everthing.Please don't hurt ur self.There is help out there.Make a call
