My question here is how do I reply to W when she asks for the dog without sounding non caring and controlling? Should I point out that it was her choice to move out and therefore she needs to live with her choices? any input or response is welcomed. Blessings!
Yes though I would word it differently. My answer would be a simple: the dog stays with me.
If she pushes it then you can say, you left us, we didn't leave you.
But let her come to the conclusion herself that her choices have consequences. Be short a succinct with all your answers.
