Don’t forget the 24 year-old teacher tied to a cinder block at the bottom of a pond:

But it’s highly, highly, highly unlikely that he feels bad because he did something awful, rather because he was caught and faces the consequences.

Or he’s crying like a baby because he got caught and knows he’s in a world of shit.

Actually, I have! I admit, it was Madison, so it might be less knife-carrying, but you’ll see, in my reply to the other person to raise the point that people carry knives (and I’m not joking when I say I have a switchblade in my pocket right now because I also have a stalker who is back in town), that I’m taking issue…

We aren’t and we don’t need to be. A lot of people have some form of cognitive disability. They’re still responsible for their actions so far as they’re able to understand them. If someone’s functioning at a level where he’s able to carry out a plan to threaten to cut someone else with a knife unless she allows him to…

Who gives a fuck?

I wish I could tell everyone in that family’s situation it is better to pay someone a little commissary to handle the leap for them.

I remember the day (as a wee one of no more than 5) my adult neighbor and I had this exchange

I’m not going to condemn the attorney for doing his job. But yeah. That line is a comic inversion of the truth: Most abuse starts with the first pregnancy, adoption or blending. In my opinion its because the man now sees the woman as beholden, not only to him, but to the mystical construct of “family.” Lolz. Men be…

My sister-in-law had her and my brother’s first kid last year. She said when she was being released from the hospital, my brother was out of the room, probably bringing the car around front or something, and one of the nurses asked if my sister-in-law felt like she and the newborn baby would be safe alone with my…

Yes, that’s right. One of my early prenatal appointments with every one of my pregnancies included sending my husband out of the room so my dr or midwife could ask whether I was experiencing abuse, and here are the warning signs, because it’s more likely to happen now that you’re pregnant. Not exactly the cheery…

Totally aside from custody, many men get violent because the mother’s time and attention is taken up with the baby, and they resent the loss of time and attention for themselves. I actually think that’s more common than custody-related abuse.

Also this may have been a clue to his violent tendencies:

“It’s very rare that someone is involved in a homicide case with someone they just had a baby with. It’s very early to make a conclusion as to what the cause, intent, motive and facts were to this unfortunate tragedy.”

This guy’s lawyer says: “It’s very rare that someone is involved in a homicide case with someone they just had a baby with.”

“making her the first self-made female billionaire”? Oprah (of Oprah fame) and Doris Fisher (GAP founder) were billionaire looooong before Elizabeth Holmes. I think you meant “youngest.”

Ver-say-hell-yay!

GIVE ME ALL THE RAUNCH

the person wearing the “only the best for children” shirt makes this perfect.
