I'm beyond distraught. I've been sobbing for the past three days and every time I see the empty spot in my room where my beautiful boy Farkle Sparkle used to be I want to cry some more.
I adore my pets more than anything, and my parents know this.Last week, we got into a fight over something stupid. I didn't go to bed when they told me to because I had a concert coming up and I was practicing my music for orchestra. Long story short, my mom said I was being disrespectful and gave me a long list of punishments. No phone, no friends, no birthday, etc. Whatever.
Then Thursday night, I made the stupid mistake of being on my phone past 10 pm. My mom said something ominous about "not being upset when I come home". Again, whatever. I thought she was just going to tear down some of my collections or posters.
Instead, I came home and noticed a small pile of gravel in my front yard and immediately knew what happened. I ran into my room and saw there was no door, and no pets. I was a wreck at this point, but found my chameleon and pacman frog on the pool patio. No Farkle.
I went crying to my mom who then informed me that she flushed my fish down the toilet while I was at school and that I shouldn't be upset because I deserved it and that it was just a fish.
She threw away all the little crafts I made for him as well such as doodles and a sign I made with my friends of his "full government title" as a joke (Farkle Sparkle the all powerful fish wizard, attorney at law, M.D., magician in training)
I miss you so much baby boy. I'm so sorry.

Oh my lord! That is aweful!!! I cant believe someone would kill their child’s pet as a punishment that is just a vile thing to do wow-
I am so so sorry for your loss and may he rest in peace!!
That is… horrible. Beyond horrible.
I don’t exactly know your situation at home but this screams abuse. Please reach out to a trusted adult if possible (like a trusted teacher or a guidance counselor). This is very worrying, and I am concerned for your safety as well.
I am very sorry for your loss of Farkle Sparkle.
I don’t know how old you are, Honey, but this is abuse and you deserve better than this. Know that this is not normal by any stretch of the imagination, nor is it your fault. I hope you’re able to free yourself one day. So sorry about your baby 😔
Holy crap. That’s pretty evil. The fact your mom is able to do that with 0 remorse or feelings says a lot about her as a person. That’d be a lifelong scar on our relationship.
That is absolutely horrible !!! I’m so so so sorry for your loss and I BEG you to tell a trusted adult. Your farkle knew you loved him so dearly, and he’s thinking about you in fishy heaven.
That’s beyond cruel and you did NOTHING that warranted this action. I hope you can get out of your situation sooner than later. Don’t have much advise other then run and don’t look back, but know you did not deserve this and your fish did not deserve this.
Very little chance this actually happened unless your mom is a serious alcoholic.
