To the author: Sharing this story will save children from abusive situations and will stop abusers. I am so sorry for the pain you’ve experienced, thank you for pushing through that to help others. 

For what it’s worth - I think both my parents would give anything to go back in time and report the sexual abuse I suffered. I love my parents, but I will never forgive them.

A friend of ours came from an abusive household. She is also, like me, an experienced attorney. Her son is the same age as our son (both in elementary school) and they are friends. They attend the same camps. The night she told us that a neighbor, an older boy, showed her son how to masturbate, I was appalled. Then…

why does her response matter, though? why are we holding her accountable and pressing her on the actions of a shitty man?

This was a very soothing way to start the day. And I really needed it.

If there’s one not-terrible thing about the blatant hypocrisy and horror of the Trump years, it could come in the form of an unignorable crack in the facade of our absurd national “we’re the good guys” narrative, and maybe even the beginnings of a legit reckoning with all the abusive shit we’ve wreaked upon the world.

I’m sorry if I made anyone mad.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Look, it’s ALL dreamy-eyed idealism when you’re in your last trimester. And I do think it’s quite likely that she can trick out a tour bus to include a private space. Sure, she’ll figure out that a French tutor who can TRAVEL with her and the baby gets way expensive in a hurry, but I don’t see why her goals are so…

Maybe the police should also remind people to not rape/murder people? Just sayin’

No matter how a man murders us, it’s our own faults.

On the show, he would say, “I love you just the way you are.” One day I said, “Fred, were you talking to me?” And he looked at me and he said, “Yes, I’ve been talking to you for two years and you finally heard me today.” And I just collapsed into his arms. I started crying. That’s when I knew I loved him.

From someone going through the same more or less, be strong and keep fighting for yourself.

Depression is a lying bitch and our brains tell us lies! Please know you are valid and worthy and not alone in your struggle. Be kind to you.

This is hitting me hard this morning and I’m still trying to come to grips. I’m currently doing the work to try to get a handle on my depression and it’s so fucking hard. And it’s expensive and time consuming and draining! But I’m hoping there is light on the other side. But when I hear about Anthony and Kate Spade,…

Many of the most successful, self-possessed, vibrant, independent women in my life struggle mightily with depression and anxiety, and go between wanting to put it all out there — listen, if I can live through this, so can you — and wanting to keep it all hidden, because showing weakness will ruin her capacity to be a…

That’s the kind of lying a compulsive liar does when he dgaf and knows there will be no consequences for bald-faced lies.

Raising a hand here for Mavis Gallant.

Like RBG, let’s hope JCO is taking her vitamins.

Yep, that’s how the last election went. Thinking we’re too good for idiocy to prevail is definitely not enough.
