The rules for disposing of a metaphorical elephant are quite
unlike those regarding real elephants. First of, there is no preservation order on metaphorical elephants. Nor should there be. You can’t shoot them, or poison them (in

be an abused woman (nor are all caregivers abused) but it certainly helps. It goes with the territory. Most of us would be quicker to lavish care
on a stranger’s pet rat than we would on ourselves. That’s possibly a slight exaggeration but I trust you get
