Despite being very grateful for what this job has done for me and my family, I’m simply not strong enough to keep doing this if it means having to just accept this kind and amount of distress. Perhaps that makes me weak, but I’ve rarely ever really thought otherwise.

I agree with Jocat, this isn't a sign of weakness.

Can we drop this "gotta be strong" shit when people are literally dealing with thousands of random abusive asshats never leaving them be?

Yeah, not saying they were the ones that need to be strong. OP is, if he's this upset about what's happening. Creating distress is their goal.

That's a fair take, thanks for the clarification.
