I'm 22 years old, just graduated college in May, and have been working full time ever since. I've lived away from home since my freshman year and have been living in my current apartment for just over a year.
I just got the approval from my therapist for an emotional support dog and am working towards adopting a dog soon. I told my mom and she called me "crazy". It's hard for her to wrap her brain around the concept of an ESA.
I also want to note that I have a job in animal care and my job provides benefits, such as 70% discounts on vet bills, free boarding, and I can bring my dog to work with me most days.
I'm just so frustrated that she's not trying to even have a conversation with me about this.
