I can only conclude that he does not want them.

Of course, once this passes, there will be lots of legislation and funding to assist the families who have been forced to birth a child with disabilities for which they are perhaps not capable of caring/coping/etc. Otherwise, that would just be cruel to both the families and the children.

Also no cupcakes

If she were poor, she'd go to prison and her kids would go to group homes.

his family is right. It disturbs me that she kept custody of her children when she used one of them to perpetrate this crime.

On the other hand, thanks to her mother’s wealth, she is going to have a lot of advantages in terms of mental health care that a lot of teenagers do not have. How many mentally ill teens ran away from their non-wealthy parents this week? Not criticizing Rosie on this, I’m saying Chelsea is lucky because she will…

I did this recently with some old acquaintances who were talking about the Patrick Kane rape case. I was like, “Uh, if I single, near a hockey star like him, and the moment presented itself, I would have gone home with him. I wouldn’t have expected to get raped”. Someone I don’t really know that well, said, “But…

Who cares about capricious custom? Customs are just ideas that became nationwide memes. They have no bearing on whether they’re good or not. And besides, in this nation of immigrants, there are no doubt a lot of families from those European or Asian countries who have big homes. Hell in mainstream white American pop…

It is not a sign of lack of maturity. Maturity is not taking care of a house. It can be but that’s not the bar to clear to conclusively say “I’m an adult now.” And we don’t know that kids who live with their parents don’t already do that and have jobs. Also it is ignoring economic realities in order to make sweeping…

The “lives with his mother” seems like a judgmental, extraneous detail, or could be read like it. Eh, I’m sure in this economy there are a lot of 25 year olds who live with their mothers, and they are perfectly nice and well-adjusted. In some European countries, it’s customary, I believe, to live with one’s parents…

Wanting to get away from Rosie O’Donnell, a woman with documented anger issues who can’t hold a job and has been married three times in ten years, who puts your mental illness on Twitter blast in the name of your safety? I can’t imagine.

I wouldn’t like if anyone disclosed I took antidepressants let alone say I struggled with mental illness but I can understand why Rosie did this. If my kid disappeared I would do anything to get them back. I just hope Chelsea can get well and find peace in her life.

Finally, something goes right for this guy.

I'm so glad someone finally said this! When I read that I was so horrified. Maybe tell the police searching for her if she really thought it will help to locate her, but, dear god, not the national media! Fuck.

I mean, it says something but it doesn’t necessarily say anything about Rosie O’Donnell. Teenagers go through all kinds of emotional turmoil, even when they’re not mentally ill, that might make them not want to go home without necessarily reflecting on the parent. However, my personal feeling is that it’s…

Every time I read Rosie’s statements about Chelsea being mentally ill and off of her meds, I cringe. That’s not something I want made public (at least it would need to be on my own terms) even as an adult!

What is it about this story that makes me, in my admittedly inebriated condition, think there's something going on with the daughter perhaps trying to get away from Rosie? I can't quite put my finger on it but there's something giving me a feeling that either she's being over-medicated, unnecessarily medicated, or…

Translated into the parlance of our times, that means dick pics, right?

“What are thoooooose?”

Sadly it’s not even close for me. I once did a postpartum home visit to find that the infant had died several days before but the mother was still bathing and dressing the little body and frantic because “She just won’t eat.” I suspect this will turn out to be something similar. Grief can do some powerfully tragic…
