I have a similar period of sobriety and suffer the same as you, in the sense that I often find I get emotionally drawn into a problem, whilst I understand your attachment to your dogs, no problem, it is perhaps that you are,'attached' to the problem, which cannot perhaps be solved immediately but if you change perspective and seek help outside that which is presently on offer emotionally, like ,'Animal Rescue' organisations that can provide you with short or long term care for your animals whilst you make a new start with whatever else is available, never forgetting that your continued sobriety is the main priority, may be a short term solution will provide a long term answer. Just a thought, if your partner is cruel to the dogs, shouldn't some other outside authority be looking at the problem, particularly as regards their welfare?
