I’m so, so sorry for your loss. As the child of pretty high-functioning alcoholics, learning to hide it really is part of the disease. No one out of our immediate family knew the extent of what was going on, which made it hard to get any kind of help.

Jez writers are often very young and do not know/understand/care about history/facts, etc. Remember, Jez isn’t news, it’s commentary — and they get a LOT of things wrong. Very wrong.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Oh shit I’m so sorry 😞 that’s so much to deal with. Of course you wish you could have done something, that’s a completely normal response. The only advice I have is to try to be kind to yourself. You can’t blame yourself for not taking action about something you didn’t know about. My sympathies are with you.

Please don’t feel guilty. As a former heavy secret drinker I can attest to the time and energy you will put into your secret life so people wont know. I managed to beat it but would have hated anyone knowing at the time.

And let’s be clear, Democrats like me are the ones doing the agreeing; we’ll vote for anyone, including any far left candidate that gets through the primary. Yall are the ones throwing a hissy fit when your candidate loses, and dividing the party. Sometimes…

Really scraping the barrel to come up with this snark of the day, aren’t you. How dare she not want to drink and eat while in a cinema, that loathsome Frenchwoman. You missed mentioning that she never showers, like loathsome French people are wont to.

Can’t the other wives watch the kids?

Here’s how I look at it. Whatever definition of perfect you have is false, because YOU are determining what characteristics make a perfect person. The reality is great and highly flawed people have done powerful things that have altered civilization for the better. If someone has to be perfect for you to recognize…

Yes, odd that people were more concerned with who was leaking the information when it was their team another country attempting to influence our national election in favor of one very specific candidate versus what is likely a concerned staffer whistle blowing on a federal official committing illegal and vaguely…

Here you go, number 9 on this list http://en.rocketnews24.com/2015/09/28/step-up-your-selfie-game-10-popular-poses-japanese-girls-will-whip-out/

It was a brief Japanese teen fashion. There are dozens of photo pose fashions that become briefly popular and then become part of a dictionary of stock poses with different meanings (the “cavity”, or “toothache” pose, for example - also kazunyoro, hamu-hamu, etc). I don’t know the meaning of the covered-mouth pose,…

Here’s some perspective on Susan Sarandon’s recent tweets regarding her sexuality:

As someone who lives in Japan, speaks Japanese, and wears Japanese clothes.... um. Japanese people honestly do not care about this. My first yukata was a gift by a boyfriend, who wanted me to wear it because it was cute. I have a $2000 furisode that is for special occasions... bought by the mother of my boyfriend for…

Team Santana. Truth hurts. Deal.
