I left an incredibly abusive home three months ago. It was a scary, rushed exit and I left clothes, furniture, and various other things behind which I have come to terms with those material losses. This sounds silly, but I had to leave my cat. This cat was in this abusive home with me for months and was so tiny and precious and innocent to it all. My heart breaks over the loss of that cat every day. She had been abandoned by her mother and followed me everywhere and would put her head in my neck anytime she saw me cry. Ugh. Just sharing this...

@anxiousmusican I empathized with what you've been through. You've come to terms of leaving material possessions behind, after a rushed exit from an abusive relationship. Kudoes to you, that you are able to leave such a toxic relationship. But you left your precious cat, she would put her head in your neck, when you cried. Yes, sounded liked a cat, I had when I was younger. She knew when I was sad, and came on my lap, and lied down..... You've to see about you now. Let your doctor referred you to a therapist. Be strong, the best is yet, to followed.... SG friends are here, to support, and be supported. Be hopeful.
@Irma You’re so kind! Thank you. I’m trying my best. 
I knock a new cat can't replace the times this cat was there for you. I'm sorry for your loss. I had the same incident except my animal was a dog. After I left I decided to get another dog to fill the void and it helped me feel more hole inside as insecure as that sounds. Pets can mean so much and when my dog was just taken from me it really hurt. You can tackle this! Stay strong
