[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 558003, member: 84"] (((hugs))) You're having a reasonable reaction to your childhood. Before rehoming the puppy, whom you obviously really do care for, why not contact a therapist and see if working with them on the PTSD (yes, believe it or not that is what it is) caused by your mom might help you overcome most of your issues. No, it won't happen overnight. But it can happen successfully. You're not your mom hon. You keep a clean home. Your children do not live in filth. You know that other people can live with pets and keep clean homes. You can do it too. It's just making you confront the feelings you have left over from childhood. That can be a no fun process, but it can also be the best thing that ever happened to you. Worth a shot. If it doesn't work you can always rehome the pup. In the meantime you could work on ways to keep the anxiety out of panic mode at least while pup is inside. (((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
