My(F24) mom(F46) has this dog Emma(F2) a chihuahua, that she got about 2 years ago and one of the reasons she got her is because she looks like the last chihuahua she had to put down a couple years ago.

I moved back in with my mom in February of this year and ever since then I'm dealing with this dog growling at me because she's really bad at resource guarding her treats, my mom, my moms boyfriend, my moms underwear, her dog food, her human food that mom gives her on her own plate. It's to a point where if I talk or something from inside my own bedroom, she'll growl at me from the living room if she has a treat, undies, or human food.

I cannot for the love of God, get my mom to understand that this behavior is not "normal dog behavior" and that it's an issue that has been getting worse the more unchecked it is, I've had a dog and trained said dog plus a previous dog of my mom's, I could freely stock my hand in my dogs food bowl and shed ignore me and keep eating. I can't even go to the bathroom without being growled at, but any other time, she'll come into my room jumping around and begging me to pet her.

I'm just getting to a point where I can't live here anymore but don't have the means to move back out again. I don't want to live somewhere where I can't even walk around or use the bathroom or anything. I keep telling my mom she needs treats that she can fully consume and not just build up, and that she shouldn't be getting any human food, including the meat at all if this is her behavior and that she needs to be more firm with her dog amd actively discipline amd correct the behavior, but she's not really doing anything about it and is acting like I'm blowing it out of proportion and that Emma is just a dog doing dog things.

I really just needed a rant and some reassurance that I'm not being overdramatic over this behavior. I'm just so livid at this point and want nothing to do with the dog at all.

Using a burner because he knows my main.

So, we(20s) dated for 2 years, I tried breaking up before but he talked me into staying. Then near the beginning of this year (a month or so in) comes around and he wanted to break up, but we talked about it for a while and agreed we weren't compatible. I left a couple days later. But now he's already with a new girl. I had a physical reaction to seeing it, my chest got tight, I felt weird, like crying, almost like a panic attack but I don't know. I thought I moved on, but maybe I still care. Is it weird for me to be so bothered about him already with someone else? I mean, neither of us was perfect but I dunno, it makes me question things. Am I being toxic? I've never had this happen before.
