I Am Sad

Me and my family took my dog to see the behaviorist. While she's very good, it'll be about $400 a visit. She's way too expensive and not covered by insurance. I feel like all of this is my fault. I'm the one who picked that dog out of all of the dogs in the litter. I bet they all turned out normal yet I picked out one with a mental disorder. I might even have to use my paycheck to help the expense of the dog and I don't make much already. I feel like I brought this problem to my family. I don't think my dog will get better without the help of the behaviorist but we might not be able to use her. I hate that my parents are not comforting. I'm crying and my dad yells at me for crying like I am an idiot. He does that to my mom too. I don't understand what scenarios he approves of for when it's allowed to cry. If only I had a sitcom family. One where when the child cries, the parents give her a hug and comfort her and tell her how much they love her until she calms down. But no, that doesn't happen in real life.

Maybe you can try changing the dog yourself? What kind of "mental disorder" is it? It isn't something you can change through training?

No. He has separation anxiety, aggression from nervousness, territorial. He needs to be helped with a combo of medication and behavioral modification. He has a terrible mouthing problem that he never grew out of. He's 11 months. We can't invite company over without him mouthing them.
