33 years of life, how many years of conservatorship? It still saddens me that she continue to function as a cash cow for so many greedy individuals.

I lost my mom to suicide when I was 18 . To say it was hard would be an understatement and it blew up what was left of our family pretty well for a while. My younger brothers had their childhood pretty well truncated by that day, Valentine's Day, 1977.

My sister did it 9 years ago. I will never recover. Not from my anger at her for doing this, my missing her daily, not from my sadness that we will never get to be two old crazy ladies together.

In this article I see my present and future... and it's not comforting. I love my husband dearly. He is very supportive and I know he places considerable value upon my career. However. There is a clear expectation that I'll do the lion's share of parenting for the children he wants more than I do. This is framed as…

That's one of my favorite excuses to hear. (I jest.) "I need time to relax!" Yes, asshole, you do. Pardon me while I whip out the vacuum and scrub that toilet, as you are relaxing.

I think we have mentioned a time or two that we would like to paid and promoted the same as a man so that we can decide as partners which career should take precedence instead of society deciding for us.

I think anytime when one spouse earns more than then other, this shit is always going to end up happening. The one spouse can always be like, "But look what I do for the family!" And who can argue with that? I mean, it takes a lot of self-esteem and tenacity to tell you partner, "I don't give a shit if you went a…

Single mom here, with a perhaps unpopular opinion. My life is actually easier post-divorce. My ex thought he did enough of the house work and child care, but to him that meant giving the baby a bath maybe once a week, doing the dishes once in a blue moon, and running to the store when we ran out of something. I find…

I think the problem is that most people don't really know what life is going to be like when they have kids. My husband and I talked about it - I'd take my mat leave with babies and then head back to work. He was working a standard 9-5 job at the time. Fast forward to our first child being a year old. My mat leave was…

And I'm glad Aidy's mom seemed to work out that whole thing with Jean.

It was nice to see Jean again. Seems like her cough is gone.

She only watches the first hour of the Today Show (before they start getting all in your face with the gays), then Fox News in the evening.

I know I will be in the minority, but I'm in the outer sunset and cabs never come to my house. Uber has been a godsend, but I guess I will use Lyft now (even though I hate making conversation).

So you do have the ability to capitalize letters. Which means you probably also have the ability to use punctuation marks. You might want to consider utilizing them so your posts don't look like text messages from a 12 year old.

My hopes for this adaptation aren't high, especially knowing they've cut Any Moment (which has considerable narrative consequences for everything that follows) and that Ever After exists only in instrumental form.

The problems of one person do not negate the problems of another. She's clearly not dead, so comparatively it's a small problem, but you can't go playing that game. It ends badly for everyone.
