Hey

Hey, please, bear with me when i type this, i dont want to immediately throw anyone I know in person off nor do i want to cause any issues but..hang on, I should probably give some context before I explain everything

Hi, my name is max, born in Florida, I have two pets I love with all my heart while my father..well, he isn't exactly a animal fanatic, he's delt with animals for 20+ years and constantly through my life he would always bicker and complain about how the animals only want to destroy the house and how he's delt with everything for too long, my mom well, is the total opposite, she cares and loves our dogs just as much as she loves me and my sister, and to put it bluntly, my parents are very different, divorced even, but thats a story for another day, the point I'm trying to make is that my mom absolutely loves my dogs, and my father hates them, so when recently, or well, two days ago actually, my mom and her boyfriend had a trip to make to New York, and the only person around dade city florida that would ever watch our animals was my dad..which well, you can imagine what's going on

I've been battling how I feel with his treatment of our pets, he locks the two of them downstairs locked in a part of the house that's bearly big enough for the two of them to run around in, I'm the one whose going down to clean and feed them, while my sister helps with walking them, I've talked to him about this yet he hasn't agreed with me on anything, I can't open up any part of the house to let them through and I cant let them upstairs or he'll throw a hissifit, everytime I walk down there the place is disgusting, they're locked up and depressed, with nothing to do, I try walking them everytime I can but even then I cant help but feel terrible, and I know I'm a horrible person, I haven't done anything to stop it nor speak up about it, the most I can do is open up my part of the downstairs when everyone Is asleep

I've never had this issue at my moms house, shes so loving and caring for the two and only has our rooms blocked off, and that's with just a safety gate, not half my furniture and a fucking handmade wooden castle wall, yeah, I'm not joking when I say this man built a wall to keep them out of the carpet part of my home, anyways, at my moms, they can roam around the house freely, is that so wrong? I don't know what to think anymore..am I a terrible person? I want to do something about it but I dont want to get my dad in any sort of trouble, he's taught me this is how to deal with animals, he only sees them as piss bags ready to wreck the place, I've never been more disgusted, and I have to sit through him and his girlfriend just chatting away while the dogs are crying downstairs, I feel horrible for them..I'll provide any pictures if anyone even cares about this..this is not any sort of hoax, I just need someone to tell me how to handle the situation
