Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
no they arent with me now and it was via fb msg @Sans911@Former-Member
i can write it here bt i dont really want to trigger anyone. i dont want to scare you off dogs.
i dont know i cant think properly. i dont really know what anyone else wouldve done. i jsut know that im to blame for it all. why else would no one give 2 shits about what happened to me. not one person asked if i was ok yet i has claw marks, covered in drool and blood.
and yet i was perfectly fine, not even the paramedics asked if i was ok on that day.

I'm not sure about @Former-Member but I have been bitten twice, but dealt with it. But up to you. Sounds, like there was possibly some really uncaring people around at the time. That's harsh, really harsh. Was you sister more hurt than you?

TRIGGER WARNING!!!!
TRIGGER WARNING!!!!
TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!!!!
i wrote this to someone else so copied and pasted it so i didnt have to rewrite it..
my youngest sister and i was attacked by a stray rottweiler. i tried to protect her from the dog by moving her away but her only being 2 'looks its a puppy; (wasnt a puppy, was a full grown rotty) so she kept coming in front of me and kept standing on my feet as kids do. the dog gave a belly growl before it attacked, actually it growled as it attacked, my youngest sister was the first bitten as i couldnt move her fast enough. it didnt stop it wanted to go again but this time it got me. it slobbered and didnt get a chance to actually bite down i smacked it ins jaw, mum and her bf came out but didnt see the attack.
i had paw prints, teeth and claw marks on my hands, legs and arms from it. my sister did need surgury but her scar is like 1cm if that but it looks huge to me. no one even notices it. she isnt scared of dogs unless they are the big ones and they come bounding towards us but once they run away shes fine.
i was 16 and she was 2 when it happened.i had to call the ambulance but paniced and couldnt so they rung back and had to talk to them again.
i was covered in slober and blood from both me and my sister.
in the 5 yrs since then not one person asked if iwas ok, not even the paramaedics on the day.

@outlander
So sorry that you had to go through that and it does sound like a very traumatic situation. It seems like you protected your sister. Yes, unfortunately she got bitten, however it seems that she could have had worse injuries if you were not there. You have no control over what the dog did and wouldn't have been able to foresee that it was going to happen. I know you blam yourself, but I don't see how any of it was your fault. I am sorry to hear that no one has asked you if you are ok, that is so upsetting and can see how that would still upset you now. Big hugs sis

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
@outlander - I echo Nell. And I look at it that you did everything you could to protect your sister, and yes, things could have been much, much worse. That make you feel any less distressed.
Children and animals are a volatile mix. Kids are often at the same height as a dog's face, and combined with little hands, excited voices, dogs can behave I think unpredictable ways if they feel threatened.
I get a sense from you you often feel invisible; would that be right? And does being so attentive and caring and being there for your sisters make you feel important and wanted? These are not judgements of you @outlander simply observations.
It seems too that there is so much you feel responsible for, but perhaps you are not. We are often our own worst enemy.
More than ever I want to come and give you the biggest hug, take you out to do fun stuff just for you, look after you and make feel wanted and special. I really hope you have that person one day, either a friend or partner, who treats you like you are the only thing that matters

@Former-Member @Sans911
It was a stray dog and it came up to us wagging its tail as we were sitting on the steps and then we stood up and well it went wrong.
I am invisible until i do something wrong then im the worst person going. And no taking care of my sisters doesnt give me that feeling at all. Sad really but i dont see the point in lieing to you.
Why does my mother hate me so much. Its only been sine i meantioned mh.
They actually did yell at me that day. I cant quite remember what they said but they did yell at me and snatch her out of my hands that day.
Ohhh i wish we could meet at the wombat hole and never return.
Thats another sad thing. I dont even know how to have fun 😞 im as boring as batshite and suck the fun out of everything. Noone wonder i dont have friends 😞
