Oh no, she didn't make any of it- that's part of why it was so confusing. It was all inside the box it had been sold in. I'm not sure what's weirder, that some company was like "Do you know what people need in their potpourri? A FEATHERSPHERE. Remember this when I'm the next GOOP, bitches" or that my mom walked past a…
So for most of my childhood my mother was just insanely busy with work 100% of the time, especially around Christmas, so she would usually give me cash and commission me around December to buy her Christmas presents for her and wrap them, just to take some of the stress off for the holidays. This way the only presents…
I knew I was truly an adult when my mom gave me a vacuum for Christmas and I thought it was the best. present. ever.
I love my grandma beyond words. But she considers herself crafty. She's not. Well, she is but not conventionally
Ohh, yah, my grandma went through a phase of painting confusing things on other confusing things. She painted us sweatshirts and calendars and the like with an image that I think was supposed to be a couple of little Native American girls, but they were all wonky and looked more like ghosts from Korean horror movies.…

They look at athletes and, yes, umpires, as ROLE MODELS and now you go about taunting this in my face. Dale, it's "Mike and me." It didn't seem…
That takes some serious courage, to admit being an umpire.
thank you. thank you. thank you. aaron taught me how to live, and i think the purpose of my life is to share him with whoever will listen to me. x
Thank you for writing this Rebecca. Purm was also a badass feminist and loved Jezebel.
You wouldn't admire my restraint if I were a woman being hit by a man. That's what bothers me. And you're the third person to say that to me. And you are wrong to admire the fact that I passively stood there and let someone hit me on multiple occasions. That's not something you give kudos for.
It took me years to start referring to my emotional and psychological abuse as just plain abuse. Adding qualifiers always felt like it made it less traumatizing or less...bad? But adding them didn't change what really happened to me as a person. Emotional or psychological abuse is still abuse, and it was still…
Survivor.
There is nothing about anything regarding this whole situation that isn't incredibly sad.
You don't need background. The blog post is about how to talk about divorce. It's none of your business why.
None of your business
Are there any children of divorce who think it was a good thing for their parents to stay together "for the children"? Fuck, I remember the horrible shit that went down almost every day; my mum divorcing was the best thing ever.
This must be becoming more common. I was attending second weddings barely into my 30s.
