shared care of pet
Me and the ex got a dog together during our relationship. My ex is the legal owner and is on all of the paperwork.
He has agreed for us to maintain shared care, however I don’t know how sustainable this is long term. I love my fury friend dearly- more so than some humans- he’s so loyal and has helped me through the darkest of times. I just feel that seeing my ex for handovers weekly isn’t helping me with healing. I am looking for advice from anyone who has been in this position- how do you manage this? did you walk away?
