I'm a sophomore at University and I live with my best friend off campus.
I adopted a cat about two months ago without thinking it all through. I realize now that it was a stupid massive responsibility that I shouldn't have taken on. I need to find a new home for the little guy and though I feel just absolutely awful about it I think it would be the best for the two of us. I want him in a permanent home and I have no idea what my plans are for after school.I talked to my mother on the phone about this and we came to the conclusion that I should try to find a better home. I realize that I should have thought this through but the fact is I didn't and I'm trying to make up for it now. So my roommate comes home this morning and tells me that I can't get rid of him...I try telling her calmly that I don't WANT to but it would be the smartest decision. We wind up getting into a huge screaming argument over the cat. She tells me I'm childish for taking it on (which I full heartily agreed with) and she just keeps saying I can't get rid of him and that he's my responsibility now.
Does she not understand that I realize my mistake and just want to find a better home? I can hear her now crying and complaining to someone on the phone next door and I'm just so angry.
I don't know what to do-am I really that bad of a person???
