ESPECIALLY when her father, who has been the biggest force of stability in her life, is facing health problems. I don't want to play armchair psychologist, but it is possible that with all her father's health problems, she is beginning to feel back on shaky ground, and made the smart and mature decision to check…

I hate the idea that the "adult" thing is to be as distant from your parents as possible.

I remember when I read about them bonding over both being widowed, I got a little worried about the whirlwind wedding they ended up in. I remember after getting divorced (much lesser trauma than a death of course), I hooked up quickly with a guy who had also recently been divorced, both of us having lost our partners…

A person can’t check themselves in to a mental health facility voluntarily? We’ve made great progress fighting the stigma surrounding mental health issues, can this “countess” please not try to drag us back to the middle ages with her bs?

My younger brother is in his mid-30s and he and his girlfriend moved in with my mom to help her out after we lost my dad to cancer last year, so you can fuck right off with this smug, shitty take.

This is an astoundingly shitty take. 

I was calling it The Man Cave, but the Mulaneys told me that if I call it that they will no longer be my friend,” he added, “So, now I call it The Basement like The Ohio State University. I don’t like that college. It’s the ‘the’ that’s the important part.”

I am not a Pete Davidson fan at all, but it seems weird to me that someone who has been very open about his mental illness get so openly shit upon by this site.

Reads like someone who has never dealt with complex mental illness and/or had a parent who understood them to keep them stable in times of hardship. Seriously weird thing to dig at somebody for. Do what you gotta do to keep yourself functional as possible is my motto. Seems he’s doing that. 

So, forget the fact that Pete’s father was killed in a very tragic and traumatic event, and that kind of shock changes the dynamics of surviving family members like him and his mom.

Well, and the part that I find so toxic (I shudder to use this word, but it seems apt) about the attitude is how it displays this obsession with Davidson—and presumably this is supposed to hold for the average dude—demonstrating worthiness for female attention entirely through material means. And then we turn around…

It’s been proven that strong family ties are incredible boosters for mental health and a long life.

I think it’s a particularly stupid American idea that everyone needs to waste their money on housing in order to prove their worth as good little capitalists. That I have to be defensive and have an excuse for it to be OK for me to live with my mom is absurd. I would live with my mom even if I didn’t have this mental…

I really really thought we’d put all that “living with your parents is super lame” thing behind us already. There are so many valid reasons why people choose to live with their parents!

At what point are we allowed to mention that Pete Davidson is constantly being bullied and this is shitty? Duder is hella mentally ill and doesn’t seem like a bad person and I kinda hate the way he keeps getting publicly shit on and think he could legit kill himself as someone with two suicide attempts Of my own I…

I said this in a comment that will probably say in the grays because Dirt Bag is no longer that fun and therefore is less popular, but I live with my mom because (like Pete) I have a serious, chronic mental illness. I am also employed and we share living expenses. But no one cares about me as much as my mom does, and…

He also bought the house for his mom. The frequency of his jokes involving his mom are pretty solid evidence that they’re very close. I know that if I were single and bouncing from woman to woman in my mid-twenties, recovering from addiction, fighting crippling depression and Crohn’s Disease, I’d probably go live with…

Plus it certainly sounds like a little stability could help him after his roller coaster of a last two years - addiction treatment, mental health issues, constant reporting on his romantic life.

Should I point out that Pete has a serious mental illness, and that living with a parent is maybe not the worst/most pathetic idea for an employed, single adult who struggles with suicidal ideation and other self-harm issues? No? We’re going to continue making fun of everything this person does, even though he’s…

So what? Maybe he likes his mom? Maybe she keeps him grounded. I truly think that people who haven’t lost a parent can’t understand how much that experience makes you value the one you have left.
