Hi Michelle,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for the trauma you have endured, but you have found a very supportive site. Our members are understanding and kind. Many of us find comfort with our fur-friends...tho a snake has no fur. I guess that is your scaly-friend.   We have a Pet Pictures! thread, if you like to share or just view some of the great animal friends we all have. I'll place the tread below. I wish you well on your journey of healing.

Mary

The snake was a package deal when I married my husband. He had got her before he met me. She is a 6ft albino corn snake. She is a sweetheart. As for the dogs, we have a pit, zeus, a red heeler, Eric, a beagle mix, Sandy, and a chow mix, sassy. 

The weeler is my PTSD and diabetic service dog. When i have a flashback, Eric is the only thing that will bring me out of it. I have type 2 diabetes but am hypoglycemic. Eric can tell if my blood sugar is getting low and guide me to sit down .

The goats were a gift from my husband. On our one year anniversary, we went out and found the goat I had bottle feed passed away. My husband went and bought me twin brothers.

Wow! This is great! My mother has diabetes, I kind of know how it's like, and it's so wonderful that Eric can notice when your blood sugar levels are lowering and help you!

[Missybales16]

Eric is my buddy. He goes everywhere I go except work because some people I work with has severe allergies. 

When I got him, he showed it naturally so I went through the classes to have him certified as a service dog. My husband helped me train him for different situations. 

I am type 2 diabetic but my blood sugar is always low. So I am hypoglycemic. My blood sugar can always drop so I carry something sweet with me at all times. I am also insulin resistant so if I ever had to take insulin, my body would not use it.

Hi and welcome at AS Michelle! I'm sorry for what you went through. It's nice to hear you have a good family with your husband and your animals. That's really awesome to hear about Eric! Glad to know you have worked out a plan to keep your diabetes in check. Hope you find what you're looking for here at this forum.

Hi, Michelle, and welcome! 

[Missybales16]

 This is my husband and I on our wedding day. Monday we will be married 2 years. In November we will be together 3 years. 

We have been through some rough times but we are always there to support each other. When i am having an mental problem from my abuse, he is my rock. The one that I can count on being there when I need him. He is really protective of me. He wants to call my dad out for not protecting me from the abuse. 

[Capulet]

Hello Michelle and welcome to AS!  That is a gorgeous wedding picture and an even better looking couple.   It is so nice to meet you, although I'm sorry it is under these circumstances.

I hope that being here brings you some comfort!

Best wishes,
Capulet

It is. Just finding out that I am not the only one who is doing the same things that I am, is helping me and being able to talk about it without having to worry if my husband is going to kill him or not. I told him one part and he grabbed his keys and started out the door but I stopped him. I told him the vet would just deny it and he told me that he would be denying it laying in his own blood. I never told my husband that the vet raped me but he has came to his own idea about that.

Welcome Michelle to AS.
