I’m a lady Dorian! And a big fan of the book and the 1945 movie version. I’m totally down for this kind of remake.

We had an asshole rooster who was always trying to kill us. It got out one day while my brother and I were in school, chased our mother around the yard and she grabbed a rake to defend herself, hit it just right and killed it dead. She was so upset when we got home because she thought we’d be sad about it and we were…

Wow down to the drunken outbursts, yes this is my brother as well. And super textbook about the in-law wife or husband ‘controlling’ their kid. I got an eyeful of how common this is when reading some of the parents of adult estranged children websites, which in reading reaffirms that they aren’t going to change.

YES about it always being on the child! My brother is the worst of that.

Thank you and you too!

Second this! Also, it doesn’t have to be forever, and there are circles of contact/boundaries that you can enact, you can take a break, etc.

Looking forward to reading the whole thing later. We got the amazing opportunity to see this at our local ‘brewvie’ house the day before yesterday, and even though I adore and have seen this movie over and over, it was just breathtaking to see on the big screen. And yes seeing it post election for the first time, it…

I live in Central WA, so great senators, but we have 3 MIA Reps (Reichert, Newhouse and McMorris Rodgers) who won’t hold Town Halls (Reichert is doing a Facebook event and DH and CMR are doing telephone versions). Newhouse is my Rep so we are delivering petitions, having a march tomorrow to his office, and yes he has…

I live in Newhouse’s district and called him to commend this, but moderate is relative I reckon; he’s still very anti abortion and pro guns, and just voted for the latest gun restriction repeal and for coal being allowed to pollute streams. : /

Add WA State Senator Mark Miloscia:

One of my faves

We repped hard in Yakima, a small agricultural city in Central WA State. We are also 47% Latinx so immigrants rights are especially important to us.

Thanks for this.

Yes! That and he blurted out “She’s going to be another 4 years of Obama!” at one point. Yes please, and thank you!

I think it also speaks to the concept of making one’s bed/room a place of comfort, safety and a nice place to look forward to being in. I don’t get that as adults we can find our beds/bedrooms sanctuaries yet we can’t teach children that they are entitled to enjoy the same type of space. Self soothing is a concept I…

I worked for the past 11 years to find a way to have a healthy relationship with my abusive mom. I’ve been no contact for about 2 years now. It still isn’t fun but my life, anxiety and well being are better for it. I feel your pain and humiliation. You don’t deserve that.

I love her in Rebecca but ditto on Suspicion. I also love her in ‘Born to be Bad’ where she plays the two-faced innocent to the hilt. Plus Robert Ryan! She is also in a fantastic movie called ‘The Bigamist’ directed by the amazing Ida Lupino. Such a good nuanced movie on the subject.
