Is She Being Extreme?
The original poster (OP) said she has nothing wrong with being vegan. However, OP says her father’s girlfriend judges everything she does.
For instance, OP cooked a chicken for dinner for her family and prepared an alternative dish for her father and his girlfriend. The girlfriend dug a hole in OP’s garden to give the bones a proper funeral.
What Are Her Father’s Conditions?
