“Nights and days and days and nights, hundreds of them slipping through my fingers…”
— Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea
Being in an abusive relationship is like trying to hold the ocean in a fishbowl, and feeling guilty when it cracks. Leaving is like drinking the water. It’s nasty and overwhelming. Part of you feels like you won’t be able to survive it, and when you do you still feel it in your stomach for days to come, but at least you’re not holding it anymore. Eventually, it will become diluted by everything else in your life, and all that will be left is the pain that comes from the knowledge of what you once tried to hold, and the after-effects of the scaring the salt water left on the lining of your stomach.
It’s messy, and it’s painful. It will be one of the ugliest things you’ll ever go through, but in the end, you’ll be proud of yourself for making it through. You may not even know until you decide to leave that it counts as abuse. It can be a lot like sitting blindfolded, as your house burns around you. There is a period, when you think the smoke is just bad cooking, but then you feel the fire.
From emotional to physical abuse, the emotions and recovery tend to ring the same, but if you live with your abuser, the first initial steps will be different.
If you live with your abuser, it’s best to make a plan to leave, including where you will be staying after (whether it be a friend’s house or shelter). If your abuser is physically violent, you may want to pack in secret. Take any personal belongs, and important documents such as school records, birth certificates, etc. One way to do this more discreetly would be to…

Going vegan wouldn't affect the woods or water, if anything vegans consume more water. Js
This is actually really untrue!!!!! This topic isn’t even arguable. On a vegan diet i am saving around 1,100 gallons of water each day compared to the average meat eating diet!!!
You would think that vegans take up more money because the plants we eat need to be watered but in reality when someone is eating an animal the animal needs plants to eat and a cow can eat A LOT more than i can on a daily basis and also drink a lot more! So on a diet where someone is eating animals, water is being used to grow what the animals are eating and drinking, as well as all of the water used in the process of turning a living creature into a dead piece of meat for people to eat!
Each year the animal agriculture business uses 34-78 TRILLION gallons of water each year!!
56% of the water in the US is used just to grow the food for livestalk to eat (this doesn’t even include what is used in the factories)
20-33% of the worlds fresh water is used for animal agriculture
To make one pound of edible beef it takes 2,500 gallons of water
To make 1 pound of eggs it uses 477 gallons of water
To make 1 pound of cheese it takes 900 gallons of water
To make 1 gallon on milk it takes 1,000 gallons of water
And as for wood/forests/land use!!
Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation
For each cow in the animal industry 2-5 acres of land are used- this land used to be a forest before it was clear cut
