Did I over react ? *ranting alittle*

I have serve anexity/depression it's why I have my birds it's why I'm so upset about it cause they make me happy

I would go to CSD a child not getting their way is obviously abuse. You did over react the rooster is mean and mom is boss. I think she could have handled it differently but that is me. I did not get far yelling and screaming at my parents.

Using material possessions for happiness is not a cure for depression.

Your mom should have told you in advance, so you wouldn't be surprised like that. BUT, you shouldn't yell at your mom.

I think you made a big deal over this rooster, who isn't even a NICE rooster........But maybe that was because you were caught off guard. I'm sure your mom didn't to it to just make you mad or make you sad though......

She probably just thought it would be a good thing to get rid of the mean rooster. After all, she COULD have wacked off his head and made him into today's dinner!

You should tell your mom you are sorry....

My mom was the same way when I was younger and still is. She never changed regardless of how many screaming matches we had. Now I have my own place and my own chickens and she can never interfere again- and boy is she jealous of my hubby. Just sad. It'll pass, hang tight, get your own place and peace of mind.

Thanks guys.
I've had a sleep and kept all this and what everyone has said in the back of my mind.

I have agreed with myself that I did over react just a little, but I think its because I was attached to the rooster as I raised it from when he was about 8-9 weeks old.

Because I got angry it was a lot harder to deal with then it should of been.
In away I guess I was being a little selfish and wanted everything my own way.

It takes courage for that kind of introspection, and admitting your part, and being willing to take responsibility for it. If you were my daughter, I would be very proud of you.

Now go give your mum another hug.

Thanks.

I always think it through by myself when things happen.
I'm the kinda of person who will admit if I've done something wrong.
But I always learn from my mistakes so it doesn't happen again in the future.
