Can I get some hair pets?

[verycontrary247]

My brother moved for med school 16 hours away on Saturday, and my SIL and sweet nieces are leaving tomorrow morning. I can't stop thinking about how much I'll miss them and how I'm not going to be there for all those important milestones/moments in their lives.

My mother is already giving me crap about moving in with them- how it's soooo inconvenient, how she doesn't want to have to "deal" with the cats. I have a strained relationship with her as I believe she is the root of my insecurity/self esteem/anxiety issues but we've maintained a sort of peace since I moved out. I see that going straight down the drain already and I haven't even moved in yet. Also, my childhood bedroom is about a million times smaller than I remember it being. There isn't really going to be room for much else other than my bed, dresser and the litter boxes (which my mom refuses to let me put in one of 2 other unused rooms in the house) so I've gotta put most of my things in storage.

I'm in the midst of packing up all my stuff at the condo and I keep finding sentimental notes and cards that were given to me at my wedding that makes me feel like a failure and a disappointment. And cherry on top STBXH has been particularly nasty/uncooperative as I've been trying to coordinate moving/getting the condo cleaned with him.

I'm just really sad and stressed out. Poor poodle

I think you should just say "fuck it all" and move somewhere completely new and cat friendly. New town, maybe new state, maybe new country. But then, I give awful advice.

So many hair pets. Your situation is stressful, I'm sorry mom isn't being more understanding. Hopefully it's pretty temporary!
