I will not pay my parking ticket then because it’s not right. I don’t believe in parking meters.

Go watch Requiem for a Dream

Same here. My dad was sober for almost a decade and then spent the next 7 years dismantling the family. He’s been sober for almost two years now, but it was two years of falls and seizures and hospital stays before that. He went to rehab 4x and almost died after falling off a ladder taking Xmas lights down. It wasn’t…

We had to allow her to homeless after she brought drugs into our home and stole from us. She took my mother in laws wedding ring, my husbands flute given to him by his parents who are now passed. Not to mention money, electronics, anything of value. She has had the worst experiences. Everything bad that happens to…

Fucked up is deciding to try heroin.

My twin cousins are both in recovery from heroin addictions, going on close to fifteen years each, now. They were long term addicts who bottomed out multiple times. I hope your daughter can eventually do the same.

It’s...not a thing. The subculture of people who are “poly” and “chill” doing heroin casually with people they meet online is exceedingly small. Please don’t do this again. I don’t even know you and I care about you more than a bored poly housewife who’d give an inexperienced stranger heroin.

Thank you for sharing. My sister is an addict and is in prison now. Truth be told, we're happy when she's locked up because she's safe and sober. Best of luck-we're going on 30 years with my sister.

I understand exactly where these parents are coming from. Our daughter had everything going for her when she graduated high school. She went to college, got addicted, and has lost everything as a result. She’s ruined her health, her mind, her relationships, and her future. She stole from everyone, got arrested, has…

Please don't continue using heroin, no matter what the lives of other users may look like. It will ruin you and destroy your family and everything you care about, if you survive at all. Good people don't encourage others to use heroin. Please stop using now, before it gets worse.

That would be less than 1 in 500 roles? Sounds plausible.

I think “Haven” is a middle name? Birth certificate has “New” for a first name.

Fear of getting it on their hand?

Want to speak American? Palin, take your pick:

Is this the idiocracy we live in? Becoming fluent in a foreign language is worthy of criticism?

Yeah. Revictimisation. I was raped by three men in 2010. Two of them were abusive boyfriends, one was an opportunistic neighbour. I don’t think any of those would have happened if I hadn’t already been raped at 13 and 18 previously.

“I will not judge someone for how they heal what others broke” is such a beautiful sentiment and so beautifully phrased. As both a survivor and an ally to survivor, that’s something I’m going to remind myself and others of going forward. Thank you.

It’s so upsetting that childhood sexual abuse seems to put a flashing neon sign over the victims that only predators can see. I know so many people (men and women) who survived childhood abuse only to suffer sexual or domestic violence later in life. So fucking unfair.

goddammit now i’m going to have to scrap my face tattoo plan and start over AGAIN
