God, I spent so many hours as a teenager, lying on my bed and staring at the ceiling with Fiona Apple blasting. Love her.

came here to say this. she must really freaking love having children (who are biologically hers) because if I were her and I had already done what was “expected” of me, I’d be like “lol done with babies now. only cats from here on out.”

Damn, this take was scalding 🤔

This one got so big, so fast, it’s pretty terrifying, honestly, even for someone who’s lived in SoCal all her life, and is no stranger to fire season woes. This is probably the worst I’ve ever seen (though not the worst I’ve been in the vicinity of/on evacuation notice for; that was back in San Diego in 2007, when we…

I am not going to blame an hourly wage employee whose job is to hustle crazies out the door for not taking on the freaking police.

Once Payne and his superior who pushed him are fired and unable to find another job, then I’ll believe in that “goodness of society”.

I am so happy you said this. God, I am so sick of reading bullshit on blogs from people who aren’t from Houston!

I have no words of comfort and little to offer but this. My husband and I are Christian. Our son is gay. Other so called Christians ask me how we can stand having a gay son. Very well, thank you. He’s a hell of a kid. Better than most of these faux Christians. I am proud as all get out for my son.

Well in a turn of heart crushing sadness, his mother called me during dinner. She had called every other number in his phone and each of his friends told to eat a bag of dicks. I wish I could lie. He wanted to go home. The guy is just 16 and doesn’t have a lot of real world experience. My husband drove him home…

I hope that guy sues their socks off for defamation. How dare they??

Man oh man. The fact that he has you demonstrates more love and grace than his family of origin, for sure.

What kind of pond scum kicks their own kid to the curb? I’m a petty bitch so i would let their priest know how these good Catholics are behaving. Child abandonment is a crime, the parents should be forced to pay child support.

Bless you for taking him in. If it continues long term, all of you will need to think about legal stuff like insurance and guardianship/official foster parenting or even emancipation. Hopefully, his family will come to their senses before then.

I don’t know what you can or are committing to, but you’re an angel for letting him stay for now.

If anyone has advice to help him, let me know.

My goodness that must be tough. Not exactly the same, but my fiance lost both his parents when he was 16. He definitely tried testing the boundaries and needed solid (but empathetic) structure. I’m not familiar with raising teenagers but I think therapy is a great tool for people of any age. Good luck to you and good…

I’m so sick of these alternative facts, bigoted, idiot Drumpfsters and bigots who latch onto fake news like a life raft. UGH. Right there with you in frustration.

Thursday found me with another 16 year old. I have one already and an eleven year old daughter. He was booted from his house for not becoming Catholic: His heart is broken. He doesn’t even have a key to pick up clothes. He is really a great kid. Please, all of you that read this post, never throw your kid out for any…

This is so f*cking tiring:

So... I’m from Houston, and this is all just bizarre. Against all odds, my husband and I, all our family (who live all over Houston) and all our close friends came through with essentially no damage. That said, I can’t begin to explain how weird it is to see the freeway exit to your neighborhood on TV... completely…
