My mom verbally abuses my dad, and it makes me really sad. She’s constantly putting him down, berating him/losing it over little things, and the other day in a fit of rage, she told him to go drown himself. I’m 27 and no longer living with them (although this went on throughout my childhood), but I still spend a fair…

Take a long, long hot bath and read a good book while you’re in it!

It’s still useful to call your reps when they’re Dems! It shows them that we are gonna hold them accountable to hold the line and not compromise. It still matters :)

Ever heard of an outlet called Gawker?

My newsroom is scared SHITLESS about scorched-earth media lawsuits from Emperor Pisspants, but OK.

im uncomfortable with my lasagna being sexualized :/

ummm she said she would in 2 of the 3 debates, on national tv

It’s my own stupid agoraphobia at fault. Basically I did get invited out and I gotta get over the fear hump and get my ass outside.

Still trying to figure out how to get laid (my thin coating of sexual bravado masks a yawning abyss of insecurity; i have just…

I do too. Thanks sparklydimples.

5 months after splitting up with my husband, I feel sad and still struggle with being alone. Thinking about moving in with my folks for awhile, but worried that would be embarrassing in my late 20s (I am 26). How do I get over my fear of solitude you guys?

I messed up royally in our marriage, so. I think he is figuring his shit out and I owe him that. But it is super hard.

my estranged husband has been dating/sleeping with me without committing to wanting to get back together, and it is sort of rough.

i am going through a divorce right now and desperately need literally any ounce of validation

no real help but solidarity! i know im bi, but struggle to flirt with girls. i suggest bumble — and check out Her as well (it’s a lesbian/bi women only app.)

y’all should try some couples counseling if he’s amenable.

would star this but want it to retain precisely 69 stars
