This happened to me after 23 years. I found out what really helped me was my determination to follow “living well is the best revenge.” The financial part is hard, but you just get creative. Cling to your sense of humor, even if it’s black humor. It’s been 5 years for me now and I’m so much happier than I was at the…

You’re a really good grandchild. It sounds like you come from a caring family.

My daughter got divorced 2 years ago. It was really hard and still is but it gets better. Time truly helps. And I say this as her best friend and she tells me all of her woes. Time helps it feel less hurtful. I’m so sorry you have to go through this.

Color me impressed that you’re handling this AND working. That’s incredibly hard and I’m glad there’ll be an end point for you.

She asked me what “internet” I was on, and I told her it was Jez. She said, “I will be Jezebel’s grandmother tonight.” lol she’s the best <3

I’ve been through this. In 2013, my husband moved us from the midwest to Los Angeles, promptly began fucking a mutual friend, and decided our marriage was over (or, if you believe his initial ramblings ‘I’m not sure I even, like, believe in marriage at all’).

When I was in my twenties, a really good friend of mine just basically worshipped his parent’s marriage, and would always bring it up in conjunction with what he was looking for, in a partner. Finally, one night when it was just me and him at the bar, I said, “Ok. Tell me what was so great about your parent’s…

Jump to 11and scream until you pass out. We all should. There is no reason ever to defend someone like this.

Maybe just point him to that girl who was in that band who wrote a letter in defense of Brock Turner? I think it was similar circumstances. She said “oh, this is a person I know, so I’ll write a letter to defend them.” She and her band wound up blacklisted across the nation. Getting into the details of how much she…

Hi just a quick note about pregnancy-the postpartum hormonal shift is actually worse than being pregnant. If you tell her now she can get her shit together, leave the country, and have the baby surrounded by people who love her- if that's what she chooses. It is better for her to know for many reasons.

He's like the drunk who, upon hitting rock bottom, decides to give heroin a try, hits rock bottomer, then starts freebasing coke, hits rerock bottom, moves onto crack, and then proceeds to smoke meth to see what's below rock bottomest.

I’ve never used it but there were times in the past that I didn’t speak up when I heard someone else use it. To this day I’m ashamed of my cowardice. I try to give myself a break with “I was younger and not self-confident and blah blah” but it really was just that I didn’t want the person to not like me. This is the…

I have been looking at this pic for a good 10 minutes and I can’t tell them apart. I am bad (awful) with faces though. If that was someone’s dating history, I would feel 100% confident in my ability to pick out the next girlfriend.

Thank you Judge Brown. And thank you Michelle Obama, for being the hero we need but definitely don’t deserve.

As far as Melania being FLOTUS and anywhere near the warrior Michelle is...

God bless this Shade Court, and God bless the First Lady of the United States of America.

Yes. Her bishop. She got rid of her bishop. So what? Her Pope is still on 24/7 call, so I’m preettyy sure she’ll be OK.

...she said, reminding Melania of who came first and who came hardest.

Can I add just a tiny thought?. Michelle seemed to be the accumulation of America’s black women last night. It all came around to her, in that moment; all the years and pain and struggle and success and reach. She just stood there.. in royal blue that still wasn’t royal enough... with those arms. That hair. And that…

This made my shitty day worth it. Thank you! (And Michelle Obama for being amazing and I love her.)
