My partner's mother is very similar regarding control, and even though my own mother has schizophrenia, I find his mother much, much harder to deal with. He caters to her whims, and I find it exhausting and baffling. He does validate my frustration with her and he just started getting therapy. It's his mom, and I…

Well, as a non-parent, I can't pretend to know whether children are verbal by the age of 12. But, assuming they are, couldn't a parent discuss what might/should happen during this five-minute session, and then debrief afterwards? If a doctor said "have all the sex you want! you're only 12 once!" or "God will smite you…

Sure, but a small claims judge might say that the breach of the bailee's duty makes this akin to hawking stolen property and therefore an act of conversion with some specific remedies in mind. But I'll admit my knowledge of smalls claims court proceedings is limited to watching that Judge Judy clip above.

"hahahahaha I love your honesty. At last some sheer blatant upfront authenticity. Although there is some more I have been involved with lately. :( Sad stuff actually. But it will come out of the closet soon enough I hope. IT is going to bust a lot of peoples little bubbles though"

Fuck off. That felt healthy!

I just hope you're not my ex, madam.

Even worse!

You're totally right, but I took Cassiebear's comment as a remark on the general awfulness of the trolling today, and not on whether that special c word should actually be used to describe the girlfriend. But I drank a ton of red wine after making the poor decision to engage in a flame war with a troll (Patriarch) on…

Might I remind the viewers (since you're clearly too classy): LAW STUDENTS ARE THE WORST.

Did you even WATCH that Judge Judy clip?? Monster!

At least here a woman, somewhere, did something bad. Given the rape gifs and trolling on the article about the dude who wanted to be the next Elliot Rodgers because he hated women so much, I'm surprised the trolls aren't flooding this place with gifs of female genital mutilation.

I mean, the dog could be hit by a car, stolen from them...so many shitty life things they might have to explain to their children. Doing the right thing shouldn't be this hard.

I wonder what evil things I'm truly capable of. This is NOT one of them. Short of dog abuse, there is nothing my boyfriend or ex could ever do.

You would probably actually like a lot of feminists. You'd probably like me. Hatred is sad.

Thank goodness, or you'd probably be quite rapey, no?

They would hate you.

Virgin or whore?

What's she like? Was she a virgin when she married your dad?

If single mothers were summarily executed, how many single fathers would it take to change a lightbulb?
