This is going to be long and kind of a vent.
So, I live with my father because him and my step-mother were divorcing and he needed help with bills. About a month after I moved in, my step mother and father decided to get back together. She moved back in and DH and I decided to stay to save up money.
When I moved in, I brought my dog with me. He's 6 months old and very well trained. He knows multiple commands, crate trained, potty trained, etc. His only problem is being a wee bit hyper, still being a puppy and all.
Well from the moment my SM moved back in, she's hated Motley. She's never abusive, but calls him names and tells me how much she hates him.
When I had DD2 two weeks ago, Motley didn't react well to not getting as much attention anymore. He started acting out and not listening as well. My DH and I decided to give him some time to get used to the new baby, or we'd have to find him a new home. When my SM got wind of me possibly giving him away, she pushed and pushed. When she came home from work she would ask "have you decided yet?" "Did you find him a home?"
Motley started getting worse, so DH and I told her that we had decided to find him a new home. This was a week ago. Since then, he's gotten a ton better. So we decided to keep him. I hadn't told my SM this yet, because she hates him so much and I didn't want to piss her off with my decision to keep him.
I was scrolling through Facebook earlier and I saw where my SM had commented on a post in a yard sale group. Someone had posted saying they were searching for a dog, and SM offered up Motley. I'm fucking livid. She never once told me she offered him to someone. Plus, my dog isn't hers to offer. I don't know if I'm right in my feelings because I haven't told her that we decided to keep Motley. But then again, I don't feel like she had the right to offer up an animal that isn't hers.
I'm so upset. All I can do is sit here and cry. I hate confrontation and I'm scared that by saying I'm keeping him, it's going to cause problems. Am I right to be pissed? What would you do?
