are you white? just wondering, bc i feel like, as a brown person, i would just have to comply and hope for the best (and call 911 actually, perhaps leaving the phone on as i was stopped).

yes, you put it better than i did. so true. i have a close family member with BPD and it has been a long road, the good thing is it is seeming to mellow enough with age that treatment is actually starting to help this person.

sounds like classic borderline personality disorder. it is HELL for family and close friends. even professionals often don’t want to work with people with BPD. There are some treatments that help (Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) , but the person has to be willing to get that sort of…

hey, so apparently journalistic standards dictate that on articles about suicide/threats of suicide that you end with hotline numbers. anyway, saw those standards mentioned in another article and thought gawker might could add the hotline info here since these articles tend to bring out people looking for help.

i think the really toxic, manipulative ones also have borderline personality disorder. sinead seems both delusional, depressed but also borderline in the awful way she talked about her children. you just don’t lay that on your own kids unless you have that additional issue of borderline and or extreme narcissistic…

right, what i thought was, mean as it was, uh, you just proved that maybe you need to be away from your kids for a bit. children, adults, too, find it very toxically stressful to be around someone who is “angrily suicidal.” She sounds like she may be bipolar, and obviously has major depression, but the way she called…

oh, i’m really sorry about that. be strong, take care of yourself.

don’t you mean the “latte” part?

I never shared or liked this. Red flag to me was “already helped six women,” yeah, how do they know? Also, the idea that this would not put someone at risk was driving me nuts. Oh, domestic abusers don’t use FB, ok.

well, except catholics don;t want ANYONE to engage in those things, whereas some are saying that in TB, if one is not a TB then they can engage in that stuff at will.

that’s a face of evil right there in blue.

mine is not a bolter, and he likes treats, but he is a husky and he does a cost-benefit analysis every time he is called. like, is that treat she is holding worth me giving up this spot on the sofa right now? if it is not cheese or chicken he will most likely just give me a look like, hey, man, could you just put it…

yeah, and i love the way that pup was doing that whole “psych!” thing, running towards someone like he was going to let them catch him and at the last moment veering away at top speed.

sweet jesus, that is one cute dog!

i’ll take a fucking minion over donald trump or a mass shooter any day!

the words of the judge are on record-she threatened these children with all sorts of awful (and if you are correct, untrue) things and wouldn’t even let them have supervised visits with any maternal relatives. there is no excuse for that. she was trying to bully those chidlren into “having a loving relationship wth…

the dad failed the king solomon test here for sure. he could have done something to stop this and he did not out of spite. he views those kids as his property and his action (inaction, actually) are the proof

bottom line—no defense for what she did to those kids. jail the mom if what the mother is doing is so bad.

she needs to resign or be disbarred. jesus.

i’m siding with the kids. if there was anything the dad could have done or said to stop this he should have. and the judge is 100% wrong, too. The kids are not supposed to be punished.
