One thing that helped my friend when people would urge her to make amends with her dad was to point out that if she were a battered women (and not an abused child), she wouldn’t be urged to just make up with the abuser.
I walked away from my abusive dad, too, and when he died, I was so relieved. I had people who gave me the “but he’s your father!” as well and it’s been 20 years since he died and I have zero regrets. Be strong, my friend!
Good! For! YOU! You go girl, etc, etc. Always remember that you owe your parents nothing in return for their partial compliance with basic standards of decency; the only reason you should ever give your dad a chance is because you want to.
It took therapy for me to cut ties off completely with my father - my brothers sometimes hint that I should give him a chance, but fuck that. Therapy has also helped me not to mind my mother so much (I still see her but very very little). In “short”, a couple years in therapy have been the answer for me, and also a…
Reading that was cathartic and I empathize with the daughter. I was abused as a kid and I’m currently trying to negotiate and grapple with both loving my parents and being angry with them. They pretty much refuse to acknowledge the damage and hurt they inflicted and just deflect and guilt trip. It is not helpful when…
What if, JUST WHAT IF, you just enjoy and support the artists you like, without trying to tear down other famous ladies or their fans?
I actually kind of love Katy Perry. I’m not crazy about most of her music, but she just seems like she’s having fun with it, which I really appreciate, and I dig her whole shtick. She has good politics, and her tits are amazing, and she knows it. You go, girl.
Grace Jones did it best!
This needs to be one of our chief “Misandry!” gifs, STAT.
You’re gonna be okay! Honestly, and this sounds like such a cliche, but try to stop thinking about it. Just do YOUR thing, and make yourself happy and it will come to you. If you can’t imagine someone loving you enough to commit to you, I think you need to love YOURSELF a little more. You are worth someone who is not…
Oh honey. Do not worry! You are far too young to worry about stuff like this. It’s more important for you to feel emotionally fulfilled by yourself. Having a boyfriend or a husband is not going to magically fill a hole you feel you have by not having someone.
You are worthy and you will find someone, even if it is not now. My only advice is to think about what you really want and are comfortable with and stick to that. Don’t go along with something you’re not comfortable with just because of fear of being alone. Don’t date someone who doesn’t treat you well, either.…
QUESTION: Can next week’s DirtCast just be one long dramatic reading of the Tom Hiddleston GQ profile?

What kind of Chuck E Cheese hell is this? It’s like Dante’s trampoline.
