Okay, so,I’m 15, my mother has promised me a puppy for two years, and today is christmas eve.

She bought me a puppy (Small chihuahua) from a breeder, and my stepdad said no, when she was on her way to pick my dog up.

That was pretty much my one big present for the year, and I talked to my stepdad about it, to see why he was saying no.

At first he said it was because he didnt think i’m responsible enough, so I told him everything i had researched about the pups, how they have to go out every 2-3 hours, how I wont make him dogsit, as i plan to take the puppy with me when i go out.

Then it was my grades, which i brought up from C’s last year to all A’s and B’s except one D(Algebra), and then he went on to say that my skin condition would worsen from having a dog. (Psoriasis, which it wont, i googled it).

Then it was because we already have three cats, i explained those are mostly my mom’s cats, they dont go in my room, i want a puppy that will hang out with me.

It seems like he’s coming up with more and more excuses for me to not get one. Anyways, he’s been my stepdad my whole life, pretty much.

Him and my mom have a daughter who’s in fostercare, and the main reason i wanted the puppy is because i feel SO alone without my sister, and i’ve been battling anxiety for the past year and a half. I’m homeschooled, and while he’s at work and my mom’s out doing whatever, i get lonely, and i have alot of friends, but still, the dog would be a nice companion. He makes fun of my anxiety, so i cant say to him thats why i want it.

He’s never really liked me, when i was young he would tell my mom to give me to my bio-father all the time. My mom sides with him EVERY damn time we disagree over something.

Should i be mad at my mother for always siding with him, or him for being unreasonable?

Btw- Q- I bought him 200 dollar jogging shoes and new soles for christmas, because he asked for them and i had the money saved, should i return those and just get him something cheap because he’s being so mean?
