Unsupportive

So I've loved animals ever since I was little but my grandparents would never allow me to have any always making dumb excuses i didn't have my first dog till I was 20 and now I have lots of animals and everytime I get a new one my grandma has a cow about it like we just got some chicks and we told her before we were gonna get some and she seemed fine with it but then she had a fit about it my boyfriend knows how much I love animals and is very supportive and he tells me not to worry about what she thinks i mean our animals are very well taken care of by me they have food and everything they need i mean sometimes i get so upset by how my grandma acts that I say maybe I should just get rid of my animals or how I wish I didn't love animals but my boyfriend always says the animals aren't going anywhere i mean my animals help me emotionally i love them like my children i want my son to know the love of having pets and to grow up having pets in our home
