I\u2019m Mary (name changed for privacy). I am strictly vegan, and I do not allow meat in my house. This is not just a diet for me, it is a lifestyle and something I care deeply about. I do not buy meat, I do not cook it, and I definitely do not want it in my kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My husband has known this since we got together, and he has respected it by only eating vegan food at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issue started when my stepson, who is 17, moved in with us temporarily. At his mom\u2019s place, he eats whatever he wants, mostly fast food and a lot of meat. When he came here, he agreed to follow my rules and not bring meat inside the house; he could eat whatever he wanted outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought things were fine at first, but he quickly started complaining about the lack of \u201creal food\u201d and made comments like, \u201cIt\u2019s just food, why do you care so much?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then one night, everything blew up. I woke up to an awful smell and went downstairs to find him cooking meat in my kitchen. He had a pan out and was frying something that made the whole house smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I lost it and told him to leave right then and there and that he was banned from my home. I thought that was the end of it, but I was so wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
