Hey everyone,
this is my first time on Reddit.
I am feeling really lost and lonely at the moment. I also recently lost all my remaining friends. I don't really have anyone else to talk this about and just need a few other brains to maybe look at my situation and give advice.
My family and I decided to get a young cat 6 months ago which we also did. My mum was always against having a cat since she is a really tidy person and hates cat hairs. However, we thought we finally managed to get to her and she agreed. While we had the cat she would however always blame me for anything the cat did and in general for getting the cat in the first place which was not my own decision but the whole family's. Since it is not my house I knew that there was not much I could do and knew that we have to eventually give the cat to another family. I tried my best e.g. I explained to my mum that we could make a plan so everyone has to do something for the cat's wellbeing. My sister which was also a big contributor to the decision of getting the cat eventually turned on me as well saying that she does not like having the cat any more. Three days ago she told me that a pair would come over to only look at the cat and not give her away. I was angry with my sister and my mum and did not want to meet that pair. Later I found that my family actually gave the cat away without telling me. I did not get a chance to say goodbye and this hurts so much. I feel sad. I feel betrayed. I am angry at myself. I am blaming myself. This whole situation was a lot and hurt me really bad.
One day after the incident my dad came to me and basically said that I was overexaggerating, that it only was a cat and I shouldn't behave like that. He told me everything has limits and I should get a hold of myself. I am confused now whether I should feel like I am feeling or whether he is right. This is the first time I am losing someone that I loved really much even if it's an animal. My mum and sister did not even apologize and basically ignored me the last couple of days.
I would appreciate some advice and help to overcome this grief and "try" to move on which I don't think I ever will. I thank you very much for taking the time in your life to read this.
