The surprising thing is that they were definitely the hook for the show and their appearance was touted as being a major part of the doc. I think it might have been more effective to not have them on the show and just mention the reason for its creation in the beginning rather than having them come out and do some lip…

They were discussed at length. One of the women profiled read a letter from her abuser. Another woman’s abuser (her father) was shown in childhood photos. Cheryl Burke, who was the celebrity survivor, did not mention her abuser’s name.

Good to know! I like to think that weird cloaked people are really just out for some harmless fun, to bring a little whimsy to our lives.

I’m sorry but this is fucking hilarious. It would make my day if I saw someone doing that.
I hope no kids or animals get sick, though.

My mom was CONSTANTLY going through my stuff as a teen. When she found something she would place the evidence (printed emails, notes from friends, pot, a tiny vodka bottle) neatly at the end of my bed and clean my usually disgusting bedroom. Then she would sit in a certain chair just past my bedroom with her hands in…

Your mom is everything.

So far this is the most horrifying. I want to give yout a million hugs.

Yeah, they’re pretty great :)

Once, my mom and dad told us they were giving us the house for the weekend while they were taking a cruise. I was 18 and I was going to have friends over. It was going to be a fantastic weekend!

Embarrassing but God they sound like they adore you.

This story has my heart. I love your dad.

Your dad is good people. Howe and Lee’s drawings are so fucking great. Please tell him he is very cool.

I’ll top that! Two different tantric sex books, one on either side of the bed, both with notes taken in them.

Um yep I was home for a visit last summer, and went into my mom’s dresser to borrow a pair of socks.

My birthday is April Fool’s Day.

I was once looking through my dad’s bookshelf for a new book to read and I found....the Kama Sutra... :(

My dad was a pretty serious LOTR nerd before it was cool, i.e. before the movies came out. He read all the appendices and books by Tolkien’s son annotating his father’s notes and books about the linguistics and collections of artwork about Middle Earth. Two of these artists were particularly considered to be experts,…

Sort of off topic: We had some lady who brought her teacup Yorkie “service dog” into the bar and was letting it run around and I was like, “Lady there is rat poison at like every bar, including this one. Your dog is about the size of a DC rat. It will die if it eats any. Keep it on your lap.” She was PISSED. I don’t…

I got pregnant in college when I was 18 (drunken hook up) — this was in the late 80s. The advertising was so effective that I just thought all at-home pg tests weren’t really all that accurate, so I just went to the university health clinic. Which sent me a referral to the nearest abortion clinic and also took care of…

He probably also wouldn’t support financial support for her when she needs it to sustain a child and the psychological counseling of it.
