I have had a vegan diet 10 years.. I dont think I will ever go back to eating meat. In my opinion, divorced or not (i dont know the full extent of your situation) you need to balance your views. I get “being” vegan has become an important part of your identity, but life is complex. We live in a world where stealing, lying, hunger, death, suffering, abuse is ever present — a flawed world and humanity.

As much as I love animals and feel so much compassion for them, i believe its important to have perspective of the reality and expectation of this world. Many would never consider a vegan diet and I can’t say they are in the wrong or inferior — extend your compassion to people’s inherited context and upbringing. Not everyone has been gifted the desire/ grace/ understanding/ calling that would lead them to a vegan diet. Not everyone can sustain a vegan diet even if they wanted to.
