This is why I love having Tumblr Savior on my Tumblr. You just blacklist certain words, and you never see them again! Bliss! There must be a Twitter version somewhere, right?

Oh, I SO identify w that Mara Wilson tweet! There's this girl, a wonderful, funny, fantastic girl who I follow on Twitter, and 90% of her tweets are great! But then, like every couple of weeks, she'll post like a full page of horoscope shit. Like, #aries women never back down! #leo men are strong but vulnerable! …

Back to that pure hypothetical. You are telling me that finding/carrying on multiple side lovers is easier than taking a class to participate in your spouses kink?

I remember that my mom once tried to read The Deep End of the Ocean, about a family that reunites with a son who was kidnapped. She made it through two chapters and had to stop - as a mother she couldn't handle reading about losing a child like that.

Except so much of the abuse endured from a narcissist is that your voice is stomped out. You are silenced repeatedly, because their word is always the most important. It is healing and therapeutic to reclaim your voice, and at first, it can be raw and abrasive. Because of course it is— they haven't had the privilege…

I'm going to stop defending my choices to assholes and just start using the simple but brilliant sign off "because fuck you that's why."

I don't get it. Pole dancers and escorts deserve to be treated like shit? That girl was a stripper once so she should never be respected again? Mmmmk....

Fucking vile. I'm not one to advocate violence, but I'd be lying if I said the thought of this guy being routinely beaten in prison upset me in the slightest.

I wish it were easier for law enforcement to move ahead with domestic violence charges even without help from the victim. This guy's clearly a menace, and he won't stop until he kills someone.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. That is unimaginably hard - I wish you a quick and uneventful recovery, and I hope any future pregnancies are safe, happy, and uneventful.

"I think a lot of this is that people who are close with their family don't understand the concept of not being close with your family."

My father prided himself on how he had never laid a hand on us (after we grew out of spankings for misbehavior). Unfortunately, he was big on the emotional and verbal abuse. Just because the abuse is invisible doesn't mean it's not there.

I have found that the only people I can really talk to about my cutting my dad out of my life are other people with very dysfunctional family members. Whether or not they have cut off contact doesn't matter- they totally understand that it's heart-wrenching and a decision made fore self-preservation.

I actually signed up for a Kinja account because of this comment. It is exactly right - what you said, "heart-wrenching, not natural and very hard," is completely true.

How do you know my mother??

Pretty much every baby before about 1975 was born to a woman who drank and smoked. You have to really drink a lot to affect the health of the child in any significant way. Not sure exactly what smoking does except low birth weight, but everyone used to smoke. It's not ideal, of course.

I have a video of my dad and stepmother dancing to Britney Spears "Scream and Shout" (by themselves, everyone else just watched in awe) at my wedding. It's probably my favorite thing in the world.

At our yearly dance recital, we used to do a Daddy Daughter number at the end of dress rehearsal. And if the Dad's were on board, we did it the last night of the show. Just the corps dancers/TAs with their Dads. My Dad, with out fail or rhythm, danced for 5 years straight including a number which spliced YMCA with…

Imma stop you right there Mark, but this was the best parental embarrassment video of all time:
