Lol, new parents learn the hard way if they try to give their toddlers Benadryl on long plane flights to help them sleep (something that is totally lurky and not at all medically approved but I know it’s an underground ‘tip’). They have a good chance of it backfiring and then ending up with a raucous, irritable…

I have a lot of compassion for the victims she targeted and would target again. There is large body of research on sociopathy and the inability to “grow empathy” no matter how much rehabilitation is attempted. We can have different opinions, of course we can, and I would hope people could speak more respectfully to…
He looks like one of the VonTrappe (sp?) boys from The Sound of Music. Like he should be wearing lederhosen and singing Doe A Deer while spinning on a mountaintop.
Then that makes you a good person and worthy of friends. Like all of us online insomniacs :)
Absolutely. She preyed on him. The prosecution needs to speak on behalf of the victim, who would in all likelihood still be alive if he had gotten treatment and never met this predator. That poor kid, he was so vulnerable, really trying to find some hope and she crushed and shamed him relentlessly. Not even for…
Sure, we can’t use mob justice even when our loved ones are murdered. We are civilized, or so we’re told. That’s why she’s having her day(s) on court.
What’s undeveloped in teenage brains is judgement and impulse control, none of which factor in here. This wasn’t one impulsive act, like telling him once in frustration, “fine, go ahead and kill your self”. This was deliberate, coldly calculated and carried out methodically, over a long period of time. She appears…
Epitome of a narcissist. What a nightmare he must be in person.
Benadryl couldn’t be used that consistently, to guarantee a woman would be so literally paralyzed or passed out to the point of being completely unable to fight back, or even speak. Sure, antihistimines make some people drowsy, but it wouldnt override a person’s sense of fight or flight in a dangerous situation. …
No hole dug, lol! I totally agree that from an aesthetic perspective (whatever ones style is) she would benefit from a stylist, to kind of figure out what works best for her. Thankfully I’m not in the public eye since stylists are super pricey and I’m pretty comfortable looking marginally slouchy on most days.
Agreed. And you’re absolutely right that 18 is a super arbitrary and outdated definition of adulthood imo. Research shows the brain is still developing, especially in regard to impulse control and decision making up until the age of about 24. So it’s a great idea for parents to hang in there and provide (loving)…
Yup. It was causing her painful back issues. Why so much of my brain is devoted to this kind of knowledge versus complex algebraic equations or the like I’ll forever mourn. :)
But she doesn’t need guidance from this woman and the courts have confirmed that. Thankfully she has her older sister and I think she’s doing a pretty great job, all things considered.
Agreed, but don’t we all have super cringy, unfortunate looks in our lives, especially when we were that young? And, emotionally, she probably feels even younger, since her mom dominated her throughout so much of her life and she is just now being allowed to make her own decisions.
You’re basically announcing you’re pro- Joan Crawford in her “no more wire hangers” mode. Maybe do something research.
Your courage and compassion in sharing your own experience can only help your niece feel supported and unconditionally loved. You don’t have to necessarily wait for the right time—you can reach out via email or regular mail and let her know that, although you don’t know the details, you suspect she’s hurting and that…
How old are you? Wait, it doesn’t actually matter. Whether you lived through that era or not, you’re being rather naive, self-righteous and, yes, victim blaming.
And, Jesus, her father’s knowledge that, even with his connections in the police, he couldn’t guarantee or trust that she would be treated with respect. If he didn’t trust the system (and his own colleagues) what hope does any rape survivor have?
Fuck, yeah, I love this song! Love the beat, the video, the message—sweet, confident and powerful. Miss Eaves is articulate and amazing. Can we make this the song of this summer?
