(8,303 posts)Back in the spring people were beginning to feel real concern over TTW's efforts to remain in the house, due to the stress of the situation and the impossibility.
These were not unreasonable concerns. TTW has gotten thousands of dollars in donations to Paypal and the gofundme site. Her plans were unrealistic - not her fault, because TTW has problems. It was not unreasonable to feel concerned about TTW, when she wrote about not sleeping, washing or eating. Note that TTW ended up angry with EVERY single person or agency who tried to help her. Every last one. They were ALL wrong, bad and betraying her. Do you believe this?
People were still offering to fund the dog's stay in what was hoped to be a good temporary home. No one wanted TTW to be on the streets with her dog, and that is what may now have happened.
People want TTW to have Yoshi. People want TTW to be safe. Concerns over Yoshi being safe have been very secondary, but everyone understands how much the dog means to TTW.
There are a few asinine idiots who just have been cruel, but most people engaged with this very sad story have been trying to help as best they could. This is a genuinely tragic situation, but the only thing that DU could have done that would have been acceptable to TTW was to pay her rent each month so she could stay in the house with Yoshi, and that was not feasible.
There is no conspiracy against TTW on DU at all. This is a complex situation, and as I believe I wrote once before, TTW needs significant services herself so she can learn to live again. She is not prospering, and her problems began significantly before the eviction proceedings.
The reason I bothered to respond to your post is that it helps neither TTW nor Yoshi to adopt TTW's skewed thinking patterns. It is those skewed thinking patterns which have caused this situation. TTW may now be in a very dangerous situation, but DU did not create that situation.
TTW is not a scammer, but she's also not able to cope with life right now. If Yoshi had died in the prior situation, I don't think it would have been good for her either. To describe this as a conspiracy to steal a dog is bizarre beyond belief.
