I'm so sorry for your troubled family life I get the impression your step-mother has plenty of issues and they aren't all with you. And the ones she has with you likely aren't your doing in anyway.

Losing the bunnies and the chicks is really hard. At least Molly and her lambs did OK on their own. And you did have a nice trip

fly my sheep over to the island

Fly? That would be pricy, what island and no boats? It is definitely harder to break away out on your own when you have animals other than a dog or cat. Can you find a job on said island? Would aunt and grandmother be willing to help fund the move, to be paid back as you can?

Fret away here all you like, who knows maybe enough minds chattering away will spark a way for you to remedy your problems. You are old enough to go out on your own wherever that may be and I think you've shown us that you have the tenacity to make things work out.

Everyone needs a place to vent. Having to keep everything inside with no outlet can be a really bad way to grow up.

Vent away... as others have said, you need the ability to release the poison... Sorry things are so screwed up for you. I don't wish that on any person, young or old(er). If there's anything we can do to help, I'm sure we'll try.

Life is an adventure. Sometimes it is a wonderful adventure, sometimes it is crap and you just have to deal with it. Think things through, gather all the facts, and make your decision. A whole lot of us know all about the paycheck to paycheck, and sometimes no paycheck. If your homelife is not what you want, maybe a switch is what you need to reset the course of your life. We are here anytime, so vent and rant away.

I wish things weren’t so difficult for you! Would it be possible to temporarily add a second job to stash some cash? Maybe moving and a change of scenery wouldn’t be a bad thing...vent any time!

 

[newton the goat]

I am haopy to say i am still alive! Newtom the goat is back!!! Wahooo!!! Not to say i havent come out unscathed though... i quite my job at the butcher due to several issues that the boss refused to solve or come to my aid so sadly i had to leave said toxic evironment.
Other then that ive moved out of home and moved in temporarily with my aunt.
My lambs are doing amazingly well they are massive and are extremely broad shouldered and hipped

Even phantom is doing well though my dad isnt letting me keep him or his brother so that sucks but out other girls are hanging heavy so i may have good replacement ewes soon

Anyways i am currently starting bunnies
I currently have three so far
My pure giant flemish buck peter

My original doe ginger

And finally sable... my one girl i didnt actually purchase .

Funny story behind her... i went to an aucction planned on only buying brooders for chicks and next thing you know as im loading my boxes into my truck when i noticed a box that wasnt there before.. thinking someone was using me to get rid of garbage i fished it out and opened the flaps only to find a solid black doe and a note stating her age and her history and cross breed. So i guess i have a new bunny working on starting my breeding phase now. Wish me luck!

It is really good to hear from ya, but seems there is transition to be faced....sure hope it goes well for ya and things fall into place....it should be more peaceful for ya and hope the bunnies do really well for ya, too.....

Good to hear from you and glad SOME things are improved. Sorry you had to quit your job. Sorry also to say that bad work environments are more the norm than an we would wish. Nice to hear that you have also gotten some space from "home". Seems there was a lot going on there also. Best wishes moving forward for you. Congrats on the new bunnies and I hope they work out for you. Hope you'll continue to stop by every now and again and let us know how you're doing!

 

[Bruce]

My what BIG ears you have Peter!

Really happy to see you here Newton Glad you got out of your toxic environments though it is too bad you had to quit a job doing something you really wanted to lean. However, you now have experience and hopefully can find a similar job.

Did I give you a yet?

 

[Baymule]

Good to see you! I have had some bad job experiences before too. Sometimes you just have to move it on down the road to something better. Moving to your aunt's sounds like a good move, there were too many dynamics going on. Things are looking up for you!
