Is this normal?
I bought a dog a year ago and I love it so much its like my best friend and used to get so happy when Id get home from work but now it doesn't anymore and likes my mum more. My mum doesn't work so she spends most days at home with her giving her attention, I have noticed in the last week when I get home she is not happy to see me anymore and it breaks my heart she just cares about my mum and I feel like im forcing her to be with me. Im so depressed because of it I feel devastated, like truly devastated. She used to love me now it no longer cares about me and I have to watch it everyday following my mum around. I don't know what to do, my mum says I dont hug her enough but I think I do and other times my mum says I spoil her rotten, I try take her everywhere with me and too the beach on all my days off and walk her everyday. I told my mum how I felt upset that I felt she no longer likes me and my mum said I need to go back on my medication that Im upset over that and that if Im this jealous over a dog she cant imagine me ever being in a relationship :( . Am I being ridiculous to care so much, how can I stop it hurting so much? I just feel unloved by everyone now
