*loved me in a way that I felt her love* is so beautiful. Also, you're really, really insightful.

I’m finished with my siblings. With them, I realized it was either deal with their endless cruelty and indifference and pretend it was nbd, or close the door and realize that I’ve been hoping for something (kindness? decency? understanding? interest in me?) that I'll never, ever get from them. It took me a long time…

YES YES YES!

I'm really glad for you! It's just ruinous to be around some people, and that toxicity can bleed into other relationships. Put your skates on!

I'm not, but that's a good idea!

Rome's burning, Matt Gaetz. 

Bethenny is good reality tv, she’s compelling, and I believe also that she’s an awful, awful person.

I admire her so much. 

Britney’s wishes need to be heard, and considered, by the judge. It’s her entire life, her career, her money, that her father controls.
