Divorce
Ahh the magic of divorce, it's taking me forever to deal with my parent's divorce but thats just becuase new problems seem to be popping up outta nowhere. My mom's boyfriend that she ahs had for awhile (which WAS my dads BEST FRIEND) has been gone for a while, and i was tottaly happy and now he's baaaaaaack, and im trying to warm up to him, but today he let go of my new puppies leash twice! TWICE! the first time i was sorta mad but now the second time he really went far and he could have gotten ran over, then my mom is mad at me cuz i got mad. I thinik i have every right to be mad at him! Am i right?

I can understand your point of view and you must be going through a very tough time right now. I'm very sorry your parents split up.
You haven't said if you said anything to your Mum's boyfriend after he let your puppy off the leash the first time but I'm assuming that you said something. If you didn't then you can't really hold it against him for doing it again when he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
If you DID say something then you do have a right to be upset with him but there are certain ways to handle these things. I don't know if you yelled at him or sat him down calmly and asked him not to do it again but what you need to do is have a word with your Mum. Tell her - calmly - what happened and say that it upset you. If you yelled or were rude to him at all, say that you are sorry and that you overreacted but you would like it if he didn't do it again as, being only a puppy, you're not sure what would happen to it when off the leash.
Usually, people are very reasonable when you ask them calmly to do something. This may well resolve your problem. If not, make sure you take your puppy out for walks in the future instead of him.
