Thank you for your caring words. I am doing very well. I have an amazing daughter who is my everything and a rewarding career that I love. I have a wonderful boyfriend who can earn my trust, hopefully, with time, if things go well. Fingers crossed. I am definitely going to celebrate when my divorce is finalized…

You are so right.

Oh, YES!!!

This deserves a million stars.

Hey you’re making me feel pretty bad about being 41 and newly divorced! ;)

You’re right and that’s just wrong

Or give your kid a more common name with a less common spelling. My daughter’s name is relatively common, spelled the unusual Greek way rather than the usual Sanskrit way

Me too. I still can’t process it, it feels like such a betrayal to have a man who boasts about committing sexual assault actually win the election. I still, every morning, wake up from a Trump-related nightmare and I have to remember every time I wake up, with sinking dread, that my nightmare came true.

The majority who voted. Half the country couldn’t be bothered to vote at all. Lumping all white people in with those who voted for Trump is foolish. Many millions didn’t.

He’s a fucking power-hungry hypocrite with apparently no real principles and he looks like a goddamn idiot licking Trump’s boots. Pardon my French.

The majority did not vote for Trump. Clinton won the popular vote.

That letter rocks.

Ha!!! I’m sure karma has gotten them. She’s a bitch and she never forgets.

I guess I would explain it as I have been forced over the years to learn that I can really only trust myself and rely on myself. Not just because of men but because of family, friends, work situations. I focus a lot on being my own best friend and don’t ever really expect a lot from people, so when I get support or…

Thank you I will! :)

Wow what a nice thing to say. I’ve been a Buddhist for about 20 years, and it really helps me keep equilibrium. I don’t dwell on the past, I don’t worry about the future, I enjoy the happiness I have in the moment and always hold on to the faith that things will work out in the end. You can’t give up hope. Without…

I feel like everyone, no matter how much they claim to love me, is capable of hurting me and betraying me and doing things to me I would never do to them. So, yes, I do feel like I never truly “know” someone as I never trust anyone’s motives. Except maybe my parents’.

I appreciate that a lot too. I ws raped multiple times by an abusive boyfriend. I was also raped shortly afterward by someone I considered my best friend. I became pregnant and decided to keep the baby, but miscarried. The whole experience was hellish. But I feel I am so strong now, 20 years later. I survived 17 years…

One word for those photos: Revolting
