I read “Tom Hardy, Commander” and my mind immediately went to the gutter.

When you rewatch you’re like “Wow, Berger was a total asshole.” But so was Carrie 90% of the time.

Girl, I feel your pain there. Last weekend, since he’s been working hard, finally agreeing to see a therapist and psychiatrist and hadn’t been drinking, I let him have the boys for one night. Mind you, he’s never drank around our kids (I was always able to shelter them from it but eventually had to leave when they got…

Thank you. I know others have it worst than I do. It just sucks because I have always been a responsible person and just want a peaceful life but chaos surrounds me. I handle it well but sometimes I just want a hug. Being single through all of it has made me stronger though. I feel like I can handle pretty much…

Thank you. I’m exhausted. I just need a break. But the whole concept of the ties between the codependency in my parents’ marriage and my marriage to my ex is not lost in me. Hoping it gets better/easier soon. It has to. ❤️

People can be so tactless in times like this. When my parents died last summer (murder-suicide by my dad), people had the gall to tell me “They just loved each other so much. They went together.” It took everything in me not to say “Did you read the police report, do you know how hard my mother fought to stay here?…

I cried to American Girl driving home the other night.

I’m extremely sad over this. Not only because this month will be a year since my mother’s unexpected death at the hands of my father (who then killed himself), but because my boys’ father, my ex-husband, is suffering with major depression (possibly bipolar) and I feel helpless to stop the train. He’s on meds and…

Yeah I love how it always works that way. They’re lost and unfulfilled until true love finds them within 90 mins. Meanwhile I’ve been online dating going on three years...I’m not bitter or anything.

That whole Grimes twitter back-and-forth is everything that’s wrong with our society. I hope he uses her as a test driver for one of those autopilot cars (joking).

Totally agree. Shakes work for me because they’re convenient and easy and I’m terrible at preparing. But I know a lot of people who hate them. You what super bugs me? Those people who sell those body-wrap things where you eat whatever and then this magical wrap makes you look thinner. Drives me insane. This one mom at…

Same. I buy a shake product from a certain company (I just like the taste, don’t want to market for them) and they talk the same BS about how you’re carrying around 30 lbs of toxins in your intestines...nah, I don’t think so. I was carrying around 30 lbs because I was eating way too much lol.

Me too. It’s funny when you start eating healthy, normal portions and you look back and think “Damn, my typical lunch could have fed three people.”

Omg if Instagram had been around when I was a body-image-having teen...yikes. Makes me sad for girls today.

I’m doing shakes but in a balanced way, they work for me and are convenient. However, when the acquaintance I bought them from tried to get me to start hawking them I said no thanks. I HATE the constant pushing and Facebook culture of women selling this shit to other women. I won’t be having any parties or pushing it…

Same! I lost 23 lbs and have managed to keep it off and I’ve done it with meal replacement shakes several times a week, healthy snacks, no meat, lots of water, and not eating late at night. But the main way? Cutting out beer and wine. That shit adds on an easy 600+ calories to your day. I limit it to weekends now. It…

You know, I too left an abusive relationship back in 2014. During my marriage, I completely isolated myself. He had a lot of mental illness/substance abuse problems. He’s actually on medication now and much better. I left one day when it turned physical and I knew I couldn’t raise children in that house or I’d hate…

Thank you. Made me cry. I know you’re right.

Do you know what’s strange? My sister is expecting a baby (which is so bittersweet because my mother would be SO happy). Anyway, she’d been trying for awhile, and she woke up from a really vivid dream about my mom. My mom was hugging her, and she could smell my mom’s perfume like she was right there. My mom kept…

Oh, I’m so sorry. It’s the kind of pain that you only imagine. It’s like some nights I wake up from a nightmare and realize my actual life is worse than the nightmare I was having. It was the craziest thing - my sister had called them a few times and there was no answer, and after a day we started to really worry. My…
