O/T anyone with pet issues as stressors? (long)

So I came into this relationship with Somewhat Hyper Hound Dog and Mellow Dog ( hound and choc lab). SO brought Psycho Dog (Pitt Bull/Boxer mix) into the deal after BM "couldn't handle" Psycho Dog that she and SD now14 had adopted as a pup. So for the first 6 months, Psycho Dog, by virtue of breed I assume, likes no other dogs and attacked both of my dogs repeatedly, and there were many occassions where I was physically hurt (scrapes, bites, bruises) trying to break up dog fights. Another time, Psycho Dog attacked Mellow Dog while SD12 was sitting on the floor petting Mellow Dog.

Go Far Away

This city has 1 million people. Your kids live with BM in DopeSmokingKid suburbia 45 minutes away. Please - go there. This is the only thing I will ask of you. Leave my little beach community alone! I don't want to see you at the market. I don't want to be happily riding my bike and be reminded of you. I need to heal. There is no reason you have to live within 5 miles of me. It's isn't even economically wise for you to try. I know you are pandering to the lifestyle SD14, spousal status girl, wants but just give me this one last gesture. GO AWAY. GO FAR AWAY. PLEASE.

Choosing myself

Hi ladies (and a few gents). This is my first post. I have been reading for the past month as I had reached the crisis stage. I have taken so much solace from all your wisdom and experience. It meant so much to realize I wasn't the only one who was tormented in this situation. Sadly, there is no saving my situation with only one of us working on it while the other cuts me no slack and extends no compassion. But I've already given everything - he's not getting a soft landing from me too. Like many of you, this was MY house and I'm tired of feeling like an unwanted guest.
