YES. I can say as someone who worked with many kids with autism, just because your kid has a diagnosis does not mean that it’s their way or the highway. It may mean they need more understanding and compassion, but it doesn’t mean you bend to every quirk and demand. Your job is to help reduce or replace theses quirks…

DINDIGNDING. We have a winner!

Courtney Holmes is fantastic. Barbers and hairdressers are some good folks, but this really stands out.

Family law attorney here. The court is obligated to weigh the best interests of the children. That is the determining factor. Here, and in pretty much every case, it is in the best interests of the children to spend as much time as possible with each parent. In this case, the parents do not live in the same place, so…

Meek been talking about that same brick he sold for like three albums now.

Put. It. On. The. Fries.

White women that blame minorities for not getting into college or getting scholarships are the worst. As a white woman you benefit from affirmative action the most.

Basically every state has an independent government body charged with upholding state anti-discrimination laws. That authority is granted by the state legislature. This is not fishy in the slightest. It is par for the course in anti-discrimination law, which exists at both the federal and state level.

So I’m guessing with the timing she wanted to hit a certain milestone in their prenuptial agreement, and he agreed in exchange for favorable custody and/or not airing his dirty laundry in court papers?

Yeah, I’m kinda like, you do you. But I am kinda over the weird sexual fantasy confessions. My fantasy is to find someone nice who makes me laugh to do it with on a regular basis. How weird is that?

This kind of crap consumes my life.

This is one of the things people didn’t get when my ex of 6+ years and I split. He had a new girlfriend (now his wife) within like 2 weeks, and I didn’t even really begin to figure out how to detach for months after we broke up. I later found out that this was because he had been emotionally uninvested in the…

Oh yeah. Because the one thing I really WANT when I’m unsure how to feed myself or if I’m going to be burnt to death is to bring an infant into the world. That is perhaps the stupidest of all.

And I haven’t yet found the words to diplomatically say, “he’s a mediocre father who was there for me some of the time, but definitely loves me, and I also do love him even though he is usually the child in all of our interactions, and doesn’t have a problem expecting his daughters to mother him.”

Imperfect relationships =/= toxic relationships. Every healthy relationship requires effort and compromise. But negotiating differences is not the same as enduring abuse. And yes, emotional manipulation is both a form of abuse and a hallmark of toxic relationships.

Her own father was a domestic abuser with an alcohol problem and her mother killed him in self-defense. My guess is that his douchiness felt familiar to her, but at the first sign of drunken violence, she realized her mistake and cut it off.

I’m honestly wondering if this was really “ghosting” or more just “leaving an abusive relationship.”

Me too. And luckily Charlize realized (armchair psychic here) “I am Charlize motherfucking Theron and my mother put her life on the line to put down my dirtbag abusive father I can’t kill him due to mutual fame let’s just do this.”

The point is that when this is also a viable option for boys, then it will no longer be a sexist requirement that no child wear them.
