Tyler’s problems were self inflicted egged on by an over inflated ego, Julia’s problems were forced upon her.

No man, including myself, can really understand the depth of suffering a woman with postpartum depression goes through. And if she had a traumatic relationship with her daughters father the hell increases tenfold.

Uh, this. I'm not going to make any judgements on her parenting/custody but why is this nobody out there commenting on what Hayden is up to? Yikes. 

To all of my family, friends & the folks on here

I’m not comfortable with the fact that the statement is coming from Hickerson and not Panettiere. I understand privacy, but if they’re going to make a public statement at all, it should be from the person everyone’s worried about.

Shades of Jerry Sandusky

You realize it’s not automatically a good thing, right? It’s not unreasonable to make sure that a 70-year-old rock star with a history of sleeping with teenagers is *actually* doing something useful with the shelter.

Proactiv works, however Kendall goes to a dermatologist and it has been documented on the series, so for her to promote a product she doesn’t use is suspect, but then again do any of them use the products they promote, unless it is their own line?

I’m so sorry that happened to you, but I appreciate you sharing that perspective because it is indeed a good reminder to raise children to feel loved. Thank you.

This is totally some bullshit language... Jez never should have quoted it.  Totally unnecessary for the story.

Yeah, it’s extremely unfortunate that Julia Holcomb is now an anti-choice asshole and very ardently involved in Silence No More.

I decided not to have children, literally because I wanted to ensure the cycle of abuse was broken, and I just couldn’t promise myself I would never ever do any of what my parents did to me. I know I would never purposely hurt any child, but I’m emotionally broken, sometimes, and I don’t know what impact that would…

Yeah, I’d believe this more as an act of contrition if he’d done it anonymously. Maybe he’s working a 12-step program and making amends, but the best way to do that is to own up to your misdeeds (assuming that doesn’t cause more harm) and then take action to try and make it right.

Jimmy Savile, Jerry Sandusky and Michael Jackson used charity as a way to rise above suspicion while getting access to a vulnerable pool of potential victims, and increase the odds that anyone who could catch them in the act had a reason to look the other way. The facility is fine only as long as Tyler isn’t allowed…

If his only connection to it is funding it and he has no contact with the girls, has no say in how the facility is run, and the facility follows best practices - it might be a good thing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like he has avoided contact with the girls, and it doesn’t sound like he has acknowledged any harm…

By the time I was 16, I’d endured years of: misogynistic tirades from my father who called me a prostitute when I was in second grade (learned a new word that day!); ongoing paranoia from both my parents that I’d have sex despite not knowing what sex was at the time (lower elementary school); bullying at school from…

OMG, are you kidding me with that forced-birther propaganda bullshit? “they punctured my uterus with a large needle and left me alone... the baby came out of me alive and was allowed to die.” That’s straight fantasy. That is not how abortions work. 

you caught this and put up a thread Hannah ... good on you!
