I am 24 years old and been married for 3 years and in that time frame I've miscarried 3 times. It has taken its toll on me. I have developed a bad habit when I miscarry though. I tend to adopt a dog and get overly attached.

My husband wouldn't let me adopt another one when I miscarried the last time. He told me "hell no". I do agree with him though. It just helps me cope. I tend to miscarry between 12-17 weeks of pregnancy so I get very attach to the baby. I try not to though.

The main problem is I don't see my dogs as just dogs. I see them as my babies. I know and understand it's unhealthy. I've let it go to far though. I can't be out for to long without missing them. I always feel guilty leaving them home. They have to sleep with me in our bed for me to go to sleep. It has been getting in between my marriage. So I know it has to stop.

I just don't know how and really don't want to. I love my dogs. So what I'm trying to ask is. Is it normal to love dogs this much? Am I the only one? Am I crazy? How do I stop this?

    Sometimes when a someone looses something/one they try to get something/one to replace them to cope with the loss of what/who they lost.

    I think it's ok to love your pets like you do, I have 3 cats n 1 dog n they are my furry kids, I am a single white male n I have pets cause I don't want children of my own, I love my pets so much as well n I would feel lost without them.

    Feel better about yourself having an abortion...

    Keep your legs shut next time scum. No wonder you feel like a heaping trash pile and I hope your conscience eats away at you every second for the rest of your life.

      What are you talking about. I've never had an abortion. It's called a MISCARRIAGE. I kept the baby but my body made the baby come to early. You need help. Maybe Jesus, Moses, or who ever you believe.

        He's just mental, ignore him.

        I'm sorry for your loss. I think under these circumstancesn transference like this would be fairly common. Maybe you could look into seeing a counselor to woek through your grief.
