Hey @Simbolina707
30th March 2024 I had to take my dear little girl to stay with my best friend for an undetermined amount of time.
At that stage I didn't know how long it would be due to the situation that I'm still navigating.
She is a black domestic medium hair with white whiskers and a white tuft on her chest. On here I call her Ebony because Raven was seemingly taken and would be too confusing.
She is 8.5 years old and I got her just after her 6th birthday.
She gave me reason too.
I won't be able to have her back until I'm in government housing.
I will get her back.
I see her every week when I go visit my best friend for a few hours.
She's a rescue and still doesn't trust humans.
We've learned that she prefers men.
I like to think she misses me but her fear of getting hurt drives a lot of her actions.
She doesn't run as much as she used to.
I got her from a foster home, the last chance she had before... yep.
I rescued her and she rescued me.
She gave me a reason to get up in the morning.
I miss her fiercely.
I was homeless for 9 months before getting into this place
We're not allowed pets here either.
But I will get her back.
My mental health did decline but I can't tell you whether it was the situation or not seeing my little girl.
I know I say to myself and others that my schedule keeps me sane, because it does.
My neighbours tell me I'm so busy, but I need to be.
I'm part of multiple community groups who have walked this journey beside me, giving me something I need to get to, something to get up for.
They are how I'm getting through the day to day.
And in those dark and lonely moments when I would go just sit in the same room as Ebony, I come here and know that someone else is feeling the same way I do and that I don't have to be alone in this feeling.
If you want pictures, there's some on my profile but I know pictures don't always help.
Well done for being brave and posting
