That is very compassionate, thank you. I sort of ignored the whole fact that she is a victim when I blacked out and saw red at what she was saying.

It blows my mind how these companies hire people without doing any sort of background check on them. The face of Subway already had a restraining order against him by his ex-wife and they hired him anyways? He was “violent and cruel” according to the ex and none of this was vetted before signing him to a multi-million…

Not to mention having a close relationship with a teacher gives him a reason to hang around schools... :/

So my conscience won’t let me eat at Jimmy John’s (not that I ever really did) and now Subway’s off the list, too. What next, a Potbelly’s scandal?

“He said, ‘Don’t worry, he has met someone. She is a teacher and he seems to love her very much, and we think she will help keep him grounded,’” Mills recalls.

Fuck, being denied language is one of the fucking worst things you can do to someone...how can she possibly process anything when she can’t name them...

I had to deal with something like this from a friend and his wife. She worked on her aunt and uncle’s ranch and one of the hands got her drunk and she woke up the next morning with him naked and had no idea what happened. She was also raised and educated WELS Lutheran, so to her - she cheated on my friend. And because…

His infidelity is just the sick cherry on top of a super creepy and sad sundae.

God, those Gawker comments were horrible. I posted something along the lines of ‘what the hell is wrong with you people? He isn’t Josh Duggar. He hasn’t hurt anyone” and I got maybe 4 stars. This is a sad story and I don’t understand why people are being so cruel.

that’s awful but definitely makes sense given that the far right preaches that most rape isn’t rape, her family most definitely didn’t talk about sexuality or anything sex related not even abuse. Like the only way she would have learned what those things meant is of she spoke to someone outside their circle which is…

had she come from a normal enviornment id argue with you, however if its true that her parents are even more religious nutcases than the Jim Bob garbage group, that would make shocking, and sad sense

I wish I could say this was uncommon. But growing up in fundamentalism, we were taught that the only acceptable emotion was happy and blessed. You weren’t allowed to be angry or sad or disappointed. I wasn’t in a cult like this (Thank the Lord,) but what I was taught wasn’t so different. I actually had to learn how to…

And Bible study is obviously what he needs. It’s the one thing that was missing from his upbringing!

“They always got 15-minute, one-on-one sessions with their mom every week. That was the time to share their feelings, but other than that they had to keep their feelings to themselves.”

Maybe I’m rusty from being away for so long, but I have no snark for her. I legitimately feel sorry for her. To feel so trapped that you can’t leave your husband after you find out he’s molested 5 little girls, most being his sisters, is a horror I could never imagine. His infidelity is just the sick cherry on top of…

I just read that although Anna was told before their wedding about his abuse of his sisters, that she’s not thought to have understood the words used. Like, she doesn’t know the extent of the abuse because the Duggars lied and minimized it, but also because she doesn’t understand what words like “sexual abuse” and…

I felt bad for him because he hated the way he looked and there was never anything wrong with the way he looked. It made me wonder if he had been abused.

Poor guy. He obviously had issues but I really liked him. RIP Toby.

Poor guy...
