I'm 34 and living with my mother and sister, and our 4 dogs, and have an stable income with which I support a lot of the expenses of the house, including rent and services. And for sometime now I've felt that the only thing keeping me here are the dogs which I love very much. But the toxicity of the people I live with is something I don't think I can handle anymore, for the sake of not losing contact with the pets I've thought about just staying as like someone who's only renting the place (I've already reduced and budgeted the amount I'll pay since this month) but I feel dread having to be near them any longer, but I also dread losing contact with the dogs, which they obviously won't let me see anymore if I leave like a vindictive wife withholding kids. I really don't want to lose contact with my dogs, they are the only thing that I have emotionally but I don't want to be here anymore. I'm lost I don't know what to do.
