if you don’t magically have the funds to leave your domestic abuse then dont document it on the internet or ask for emotional support / leaving an abusive boyfriend is 100% intellectual and if you’re emotionally struggling to do it you are WEAK (“leave him or leave us out of it”)
I think it’s just not exposing yourself and raw wounds to the possibility of them being exploited /abused for manipulation.
Do you have a friend who can care for your pet?
