Sometimes I wish we weren't dependant on an old ass document created by people who owned human beings as property for our ethical decisions.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've learned more about what I should expect and demand for myself as a woman and a person from Jezzie commenters than just about anywhere else. You are all the shiznit, and I mean that with the highest respect.

Crap. I'd never heard of gaslighting before this comment. It's exactly what my husband has been doing to me for years.

I don't know which is better, your burner name or your comment. Stars all around!

I would add, if it's at all possible, you might wanna go see Kathy Griffin soon.

I am a stranger but I am so sorry. I have loved ones who struggle with addiction and I know the heartache/helplessness/terror that comes with it. I'm pulling for you, from where I am.

I have no gif. But I'm sorry for this hurdle you're facing. My own husband has been sober (not to assume your husband's specific lapse) for our entire marriage now (15 yrs) and i worry about the scenario you are facing so much. What would i do? What would I feel if he fell off the wagon?

Two beautiful, accomplished women.
