I stopped going to work

On Tuesday I essentially got punished for daring to take a break. I worked for 2 years of 10 hour days of nonstop physical work at an animal shelter. I decided that the next day I just wasn’t coming in anymore. It was absolutely heartbreaking, I had hoped to work there for the rest of my life. I’m now trying to cope with the realization of how much abuse and gaslighting I endured there. The good news is that today I was hired at a dog rescue I’ve really liked, I’m cautiously hopeful.
