Yes, all 3 former wives knew, or at least had a sense. He admitted that he never really came completely out with it with his first wife and Kris—just told them he liked to wear women’s clothing. But I think he did say that he told his second wife (Brody and Brandon’s mom) a lot more and didn’t really downplay it with…

Oh god, I’m going to think of her now, too, when I hear that phrase and I don’t even know her. Thank you for enlightening me. As a mom (and someone who has suffered from depression my entire life), I don’t know how a parent gets it together after that. I’m pretty certain I wouldn’t be able to recover.

Me, too. Ended mine 8 years ago and the only reason why I didn’t do it sooner was how guilty I felt doing it. I’m so glad you guys didn’t have kids, though I still know your pain - all too well. We had kids so I had/have that layer of “connectedness” to him to deal with all the livelong day, every day. Like yours, my…

Long, slow clap. THIS, this, this. If everyone had a healthy dose of self-awareness, I’m sure we would see fewer repetitive, uninteresting posts day after day. This goes for kid pics, the fucking dinner and drinks pics (why????), and—my personal favorite—the incessant, angry (and I’m assuming drunk) rants of an…

Long, slow clap. I was just about to write the exact same thing. Thanks for selfishly wasting an opportunity that could have gone to someone 100x more worthy of it than your sorry ass.

NOOOO, don't cut your hair unless you want to! I'm a 46 yo attorney and I've had long hair since I can remember. My hair is usually anywhere between just below my shoulders to the middle of my back and fuck that, it's staying. As are my cut offs and flip flops.

Yep. I also like how she unabashedly offended all people who don't live on a on a coast but then does the "my, aren't YOU defensive" schtick when I call her out. Barf.

Could it be because of how people like you generally regard "our region" as a veritable asssbackwards, uneducated, supremely uncool wasteland full of rubes, and how 35 states worth of people are routinely lumped together based solely on someone's limited purely anecdotal experience? Do you recall writing "sad middle…

Notwithstanding the fact that I'm a washed up middle-american hag, I actually did read what you wrote. "Prematurely aging" can be voluntary.

The "sad middle of America" is awfully big for that generalization. FYI: us sad middle of Americans aren't all a bunch of prematurely aging rubes.

I just posted on another comment thread that the facts of this case are so pedestrian that they make me yawn. That doesn't mean I believe what happened to EP is "right"; it means I read about the case and said, "um, yeah? Story of my life, and I have no doubt it's the story of too many women's lives." I'm second in…

I'm deputy GC of a large tech company and not a day goes by where I don't find myself wondering, "hmmm...if I was a man, would I have been asked to do that?" And believe me when I tell you that I'm not out there looking for it. I actually don't have a hair trigger sensitivity to it. In fact, it's usually one of…

I think the letter is in. I don't know how they keep it out. It's the recording where I feel his attorneys have the most wiggle room. You could ask 100 lawyers and "legal analysts" what they believe will become of the recording and you'll probably get 80 slightly varying responses. I believe there are enough ways…

Here was my take on the bathroom ramblings. At first I thought, "Holy shit, there are admissions all over the place". But then I replayed the scene and decided that if I was his lawyer (I am a lawyer but fortunately not for this whackjob), I would defend the statements as the ramblings of a man to himself who had no…

I was coming here to say the same thing. Apparently nicotine greatly reduces the symptoms of colitis. I have Crohn's and was secretly hoping that I might get prescribed smoking as a symptom-reducer but alas, it just helps with colitis. (I've missed smoking every single day for the last 16 years. So pathetic.)

I admit I'm guilty of not having any idea this was going on until I listened to NPR last night and heard the verdict. Then this morning I started my car and heard what I thought was Blurred Lines playing and I thought, "huh, weird that XRT is playing this crap song" until I realized it was Got To Give It Up. I don't…

I agree a whole lot with this. It's one thing to blather on and on about lying and consequences and good choices and blah blah blah. It's another thing to live through the ramifications of it. To me, the learning is all in the trying and failing. The other thing that I've noticed works wonders with my teens (2…

"My fucking fake face." Goddamn if I'm not stealing that. Every morning for the last 2 months, it's been this: (1) alarm clock goes off; (2) I wake up and do my what day is it, what do I have to do today, how shitty is the weather going to be today, fuck - I'm still alive-routine; (3) drag my depressed ass out of…

First, I want to tell you how much I appreciated reading this, not for the product recs but because I'm a corn-fed woman in her 40s who was born and raised in Minnesota (haven't lived there since 1991—the North Stars left and SO DID I). This was heartening and oh-so relatable in many ways, including the cursed flight…

My kids' pediatrician asked if I wanted to give the vaccine to my oldest son who is 15 and I enthusiastically said, "yes!". Then I explained to my son what he was getting and why and at first he was embarrassed and confused ("but why me? you know I haven't even kissed anyone yet"). After I explained it more he was…
