My ex-husband dragged ours out as his last effort to exert control over me and try to break me financially so that I had to go back to him. Instead, it solidified my decision that I had to leave him and will never go back to him.

The Handmaids Tale should have ended sooner. Watching that show is torture, but I keep hoping it will get better.

And then play the victim because you never wanted to be a cheater. You thought you were part of an open relationship. 

When I left my husband, I admittedly moved on too fast. My ex changed his profile picture and name to that of my new boyfriend. He then spent 4 hours robo-posting all of our dirty laundry, which conveniently enough, did not include his POF profile he set up before I even moved out or the Ashley Madison account or his…

My daughter is starting her junior year this fall. She is the only one of her friends opting for virtual learning. They don’t start until the end of August, so I’m hoping that Georgia will be a lesson that they don’t need to go back, but I don’t have high hopes. I’m going to use this month to set up a tutor for math…

Here’s a good one! I took my daughter to the dentist this morning. They tested her in the car, and it was 101! The assistant said, “Oh no problem. She’s sitting in the sun. We’ll take it again once she’s inside.” Once inside, it was 98. 

A friend of mine and I had the conversation this weekend about how losing the restaurant business has also meant losing any semblance of a back up plan. I had an abusive boss several years ago and was ready to give up my career for a mental break. I was dead serious that if I couldn’t find something else, then I could…

While he doesn’t have the Good Charlotte money, and I don’t have millions from my acting career, my boyfriend did get a new job at the end of May after being laid off for 2 years (we’ve been living in opposite world during covid, I admit), and we finally moved in together. I’ve never slept better knowing my household b…

My kids are 23 and 16. Mulan was my son’s favorite Disney movie, so it was always on repeat. My daughter has recently rediscovered it. “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” was one of her pump up songs before gymnastics competitions. We watched it again on Disney+, and it holds up as one of the best. I will not pay $30 for…

The take is based on a point of privilege never having been in this situation and lack of empathy for those who have. 

The picture of her laughing with the garden hose and the red boots is the most gorgeous one I’ve seen of her.

You don’t confront them because they have no bar for how low they will go in an argument. With my ex, it was a never ending cycle of name calling and outright lies. I would send him screenshots to refute what he’d just said, and it was still my fault or he’d go on to the next topic to continue the fight. Then a friend…

I was married to a narcissist for almost 20 years. I went to therapy and within the first 5 minutes, the therapist said that I had PTSD, something that is still hard to accept because he didn’t hit me. The verbal berating would get so bad that I wished he would hit me just to get it over with, and maybe he’d feel some…

I used to work for my state’s fair housing commission, and I’m basing this on memory, so someone can correct me if there are gaps. “Affirmatively furthering fair housing” is part of the Fair Housing Act, but it’s one of those vague phrases with no guidance from Congress, so it got mostly ignored from 1968 until Castro…

When my republican boyfriend (shoot me, I know) talks about Biden’s possible VP choices, I remind him that Kamala is criticized by the far left because she was a law and order AG. He has nothing because Fox can’t dispute it. Trump has his racist base that will always vote for him. We don’t need those votes. We need…

I love everything about this apartment, especially the couch, but I want to know where the tiles went that were painted by the RHOBH before Gigi left for NYC.

Good god! I went back to look at it again (IKR? What is wrong with me?) and realized it’s a video, and YOU CAN SEE HER LEGS STILL IN THE STIRRUPS! I don’t know Ciara well enough for this right now.

I hate it because I don’t want to see her bodily fluids still on the baby and now smeared all over the mask. Surely there were several pictures taken between this one and time that things calm down and the post on instagram. Give me a swaddled baby sleeping serenely all day.

So when his daughter calls her mother a bitch but waits until mom has turned her back and doesn’t think she’ll hear it, then it’s ok. In my personal experience, this argument did not go over in my household when I was 16.

Kandi is pretty cheap. I bet she doesn’t run the a/c below 75, hence her wearing a sun dress indoors.
