If she said she had two pit bulls, I could see her running into issues finding a place, but golden retrievers? That shouldn't be an issue. Ive had the opposite experience when looking for rentals, all the apartment complexes take pets with a deposit, but maybe one out of 10 homes say no pets. " Even some of my friends and family have had a very hard time believing he wasn't what he seemed to be" It's odd that her family is refusing to help her and defended her ex. I can't think of any ex who would allow me to live with them, pay all my living expenses like after we have broken up/ not sleeping together. Except for my child's father, but only for the sake of my child, if the kid wasn't in the picture, no way they would support me for three years, while not getting anything in return (sex).
