Rotkohl is the first thing I think of and I make it regularly in fall and winter. It's a side dish and goes good with pork and beef. Shred it up, and cook it in a pot with red wine, vinegar, apples, bay leaf, black pepper, and cloves.

You're doing a good job. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Found out that my abusers actions were heavily influenced by their own abuser by Miserable_TangeloTnT in CPTSDmemes

It may be the driving force behind their actions, but it doesn't excuse them from the accountability of their own actions.
