True. Better than Freaky Family, hah. So glad that psycho got banned.

Ah you’re right. They’re sponsored by all of those toy companies. Duh!

His older brother is MEME-happy so I get forced to watch them. Fortunately they’re funny and child-friendly. So far. But on the bright side, he wants to join an improv class so I’m signing him up. I am determined to make sure my kids have social skills. I ranted at them the other day about how their generation isn’t…

Wow, it’s actually been a minute since I’ve seen this. Still funny!

My kid loves this YouTube channel EvanTube - I had to shut that shit down. It’s basically parents who buy their kids various toys (I’m assuming via all of the money they make (1.3 million a year according to google) that they unwrap and I’m sure promptly discard. Other times they’ll buy a fuckton of ice cream and then…

He looks like Tom Cruise pre-crazy. Does he always?

THANK you. I got a yogurt parfait once and was horrified to find those disgusting things in it. Fucking GROSS.

Thank you. It’s weird - as traumatizing as the whole thing has been, there have been positive side effects I never expected. I’ve struggled with confidence issues my entire life, but getting through this has made me feel strong. And I’ve been going to a traumatic loss group, and it’s been life-changing, The org said…

Thanks, love. It’s so strange. And surreal. I feel like my saving grace will be finding a way to help others dealing with it. Cliche AF, but the only thing that gives me solace. I’ve been told by multiple experts that murder-suicide is too “niche” for support groups but goddammit I’m going to start one.

Thank you. Amazing how we can survive things we never think we could. Thankful for life every day now. ❤️

Thank you. It happened last June and it’s weird - of course it’s been devastating, and I still cry in my car on my way home from work. But I’ve also connected to people more than I have in years and I have this newfound ability to stop procrastinating and live life. And I’m doing charity work which is unbelievably…

Thank you for this well-written and gut-wrenching article. Having recently gone through one of those “life-upending” tragedies - my father, a historically non-violent person, killed my mother and then himself, completely out of the blue - I find myself thinking about mental illness and where accountability…

Ok I was mad at you for your first comment but I also just spat out my iced tea with your 9-year-old comment so thank you for that.

Hey, hey. I feel bad for you too. You weren’t self-righteous/braggy at all. Not sure where that came from. People react oddly on here sometimes. Love and hugs!

Oh me too. I married it, and lived with it for 7 years. Misery. Finally woke up and realized that not everyone deserves to be taken care of. Now I’m on my own and happy and dating only respectful men. Never again! When I see any of those tendencies in someone, boy bye.

Right?! How did he get a pass on that? I get totally controlling, explosive anger guy vibes. And she comes off as a codependent caregiver (I know because I used to be one).

Me too. The scenes when they’re walking in Nob/Russian Hill brings back memories of living there in my early 20s. God I miss it.

The Affleck tattoo thing came out months ago. I remember thinking it was for a movie. Damn, can’t believe it isn’t. That’s a crying shame. And he probably paid like 2k for that, bless his heart.

So just the other day I asked my sister if that tag line ever made sense...”knows good sex and isn’t afraid to ask.” What does that even mean? Someone please explain what I’m missing.

Done and done.
