I think, and I’m just spitballing here, that sometimes parents don’t want to believe that their child can be a victim of sexual abuse, so they convince themselves that he is not. On paper, of course, a 24 year old with a 13 year old is abuse, but MY 13 year old is in love and it’s different.
Growing up, I always thought my mom was the perfect example of a brave, selfless woman trying to raise three kids by herself because her husband was a deadbeat. Now that I’m all grown up, I realize that she was an asshole at times who used us and turned us young kids in her fights with our dad. I love her still, but…
God, they are so good.
I should be so lucky that she considers my dreams worth haunting. Still, this is kinda funny in a “bone broth” and “white people discover collard greens” sort of way.
I forgive her, we all did dumb and desperate things 10-15 years ago. It was symptomatic of the time period.
“judgmental, self-absorbed, and unreflective,” should be xoJane’s tagline.
question for people more experienced with pregnancy than I: can you even detect a pregnancy at 4 weeks? doesn’t this mean her period is, like, 4 days late? I might be with her crazy mom on this one.
Certainly, working with Gallo could have left a bad taste in her mouth.
I was thinking the same thing. Minus the ‘darker than her usual makeup” that look is pure 1971 hip.
I just...the subject was curly hair, and she was trying to prove she has naturally curly hair. She could have used the same damn picture, and just said, “Here is a picture of me in 1971, dressed as a person in 1971, and as you can see, my hair is curly,” and I never even would have been the wiser. Why did she need to…
Hey, that’s Catherine Deneuve. She can be pretentious if she wants to be.
*raises hand*
So true. I finally came to this realization back when I left a guy I’d dated basically my entire teenage/early adult life. While he wasn’t on the same level as Ozzy Osbourne, he was a mess and a half and I basically kept his life together the whole time we were dating, even though he was pretty awful and ungrateful to…
Do you use one of those two-handed scythes? That would be... dramatic.
Are they free-range dildos though?
Huh. Guess a few always come early, as per the picture shown.
This reminds me, in addition to my organic anal beads, it looks like my dildo garden is almost ready for its first harvest of the year! #blessed
The fact that you’re a former soldier and don’t see the difference between this and someone giving a nazi salute frightens the hell out of me.
You equating BLM with Nazism says all there is to know about you.
