Even if it is, you figure out how to pay the damn bill yourself. He didn’t drop a cinder block on her arm while she was sleeping. He was engaging in a normal, affectionate greeting. Fuck this lady.

Don't compare people to animals. Don't do that. Don't be that person.

Werewolves!

It's what my roller derby name would be. My strengths would be brutality and shame resilience.

I would also like to note that the LDS church has worked hard to push back against its leadership becoming mandated reporters, arguing that it interferes with the repentance process. They mess up with stuff relating to sexuality and sex crimes frequently. http://www.feministmormonhousewives.org/2014/05/yeseve…

Hey! I worked as a Student Affairs Counselor at a law school, and am a therapist by training/education.

a must see for all. The value of empathy in hard situations is unmatched.

This is such an important point, and I'm rooting so hard for your insurance to do the right thing and help you get the surgeries you need. Strength and safety to you.

Huge hugs to your friend. She deserves justice, and the shitty system is not an indication of her lack of worth— just the system’s shittiness.
