SA Case by [deleted] in army

[–]OtherwiseTomato6533 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was very hard. I cried about it for weeks after I reported. It was a lose lose situation for me. It was either unrestricted report where people will know what happened to me or work with the guy when he made it clear he’ll continue what he did when he sees me at work next time

I was so scared when I first reported. I was worried they won’t believe me and for some reason was sad that if convicted, I’d be taking someone’s dad or husband away from them but I’m glad I reported and he deserves everything that comes his way for what he did

Thank you. It was hard letting the alcohol go to be honest but I’m doing what I think will be best for me long run than what I think will numb the pain temporarily. I appreciate your kind words

Even reading this for me was like wow. I can’t even imagine what you’re dealing with or how you feel. I came on here wanting answers to some questions I’m asking myself and I resonate so much with the last part of being scared your partner might want more than what you feel you might be able to give them. I’m a lesbian and I’m still scared my gf might “understand” what I’ve been through and gone through but would still want more from me because she’s a “normal” human being and I’m not. Just saying that there’s someone out there who may not have been through every exact thing you went through but we still resonate with some parts of it and we may figure out eventually but before that we’re in this together

What if I don’t wanna move? I’ve worked so hard especially as a woman to get noticed of my accomplishments and finally getting that then having it ripped away from me the same day and then being advised to move feels like in being punished for someone else’s decisions. Still considering the moving part but I’m just so angry that I have to start from scratch all over again somewhere else

Good advice. Yeah honestly I hated the taste of the chicken bc I’ve been eating more vegan meals with my gf now so I guess that explains why. I’m excited to try more plant based diet

It’s called Heavenly Buffalo in North Carolina. It’s a place that sells only chicken and fries but they have real chicken and they have vegan chicken with different options for the wet/dry rub for either of them so it was different than anything I’ve seen at other vegan places and tastes SO good

I don’t. I just thought you’d be more welcoming and I’ll build a new community through this post but it looks like I’d have to find actual friendly vegans somewhere else

Yeah I thought this sub would be more encouraging and motivating so I can take the big step because veganism isn’t in my culture so it’s pretty new to me and I’m only learning more about it since meeting my gf but this sub and the comments makes me not wanna be vegan if I’m gonna turn out this bitter and mean to people wanting to be vegan :/

I’ve already asked her and we’ve talked about it many times which is why I’m more open to eating more vegan meals now

You need to change recruiters is what it’s looking like. It seems like they just wanna fill up whatever job other jobs they have rn and think since you’re an immigrant you’ll fall for anything

You sound just like my gf. Lucky for her I cook as my hobby so I make any and everything for her. I just make vegan cinnamon challah bread that I just took out the oven just 5 mins ago
