Yes, I hate that they keep bringing up his gross comments about her. Its also really reinforces the shame that makes incest victims unwilling to come forward or seek help.

“So that’s less tragic than a kid?”

This isn’t a good thing to get angry about.

I don’t think it’s insulting at all, and it is more tragic. They barely got a chance to live their lives before it was taken from them.

Given all he had witnessed and survived, his support of Israel as a nation would have been damn near inevitable. When Israel became a country, it was only ten years, less in some cases, since almost every country on Earth had refused to take in Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. The German government under Hitler,…

1.) No. Not BPD.

Hey, person with BPD here. Armchair diagnosing someone who urged her friend to kill himself with a mental illness is garbage. Don’t do that. Not even sure where you’re getting that diagnosis from? There is a huge stigma against BPD already, and it’s kind of hard for us to get treated like people without this kind of…

This is a horrible thing to say and you should be ashamed of yourself. You’re contributing to the stigma around mental health disorders in general and BPD specifically, and you’re dehumanizing the human beings who suffer from the latter.

Yeah I’ve got borderline and if anything I have too much empathy. We can also respond well to medication and therapy. This chick is a sociopath.

Borderline Personality disorder is not in the DSM, anymore?

Why am I reading night gawker with my lunch?

Five kids under seven? Am I te only one reminded of Andrea Yates?

When I was pregnant, I could not believe how many women on pregnancy boards were stressed about their ability to groom their pubes before Ob/Gyn appointments. I found it so upsetting that amidst all of the joys/pains of pregnancy that would even register as a “concern”.

Thank fucking god my husband doesn’t care, I would have a hard time not laughing while defending my flourishing pubes as a feminist statement.

I think it’s sad that adolescent girls find hair unnatural and are shamed for it. I am PRO everyone caring for their hair as they see fit, without shame.
