Losing a loving parent isn’t easy. It can make you grieve for the rest of your life. In the initial days or years of such situations, you just wanna hold onto all their memories and the things they possess. Keep those things or people close which were important or dear to them. The same happened with our OP who was forced by his mother to give away his late father’s dog after her new fiancee was moving in with them. The conflict arose because his mother’s fiancee was allergic to dogs so to accommodate her fiancee, his mother asked OP to get rid of the dog. But the dog, Dax, had a special place in OP’s heart and was reluctant to do so. So what did he do about the constant pressure by his mother?
