Lady GTFO

This is just so sad. I just think of her little guy floating out there by himself for hours. I kind of hope he didn’t see anything - this is so traumatic already, that for him to have that memory of his mother injuring herself, or drowning would be too much for his young psyche. I saw that she had posted a pic of the…

I’m quarantining at a super rustic lake cabin my family has owned forever with my 4 y/o son. Accidents here are extremely rare, but things happen. People who say “Why wasn’t she wearing a jacket? Why this? Why that? She could have prevented it!” This honestly seems like such a freak thing that could happen to anyone…

LOL, thank you! I actually only go on Jezebel at work and I thought the username would remind me of all the things I SHOULD be doing ... Hasn’t worked so far ;)

I had my only child at 41, and I love being a mother, but I would likely be living a much better life if I hadn’t. Most men don’t help much. 

Why’d you have to go and expose me like that? I’m 41 and similarly lost my peak ‘child-bearing’ years to myriad mental health issues. Luckily I was able to cling on to a career that from the outside most people think of as “successful”, but the effort required to do that when grappling with (and concealing) anxiety,…

Re Westworld, omg I know. I really loved that series and defended till the bitter end of season 2 which I enjoyed despite its faults. But damn, what a waste of tremendous talent in season 3.

Great article. Regarding your description of your parents, you might want to look up childhood emotional neglect (link). I learned about it a couple years ago and it’s been really helpful in understanding my relationship with my parents and how their parenting impacted me. 

Thanks so much for writing this - I think you have and will touch a lot of women. I was right where you are but at the age of 45. Had suffered from depression on and off throughout my adult life but didn’t really get it under control until my 40s. I have dated on and off for years but, after being abused by my father…

I’m in the same boat at 41, fertility-wise and in completely lacking a parenting partner. I had a more useful gyno who, at my 35th birthday, began talking to me about “advanced maternal age” and egg-freezing and IVF options. I could have decided then to attempt a (likely fraught and expensive) pregnancy by myself, and…

I appreciate you so much for this. I felt like I was reading my journal entry. I’m 42 also and struggled with depression for most of my 20s and 30s. I cancelled my wedding 5 months out but I’m sure if I had gone through with it, I’d be divorced by now. I feel like I’ve made peace with the fact that I may never have…

I feel for you so much. As a fellow bipolar depression/severe anxiety survivor, I can tell you, it’s not too much easier on the slightly younger end. I’m married and 33, wanting to try to get pregnant mid-next year (so well into 34), but I was supposed to be weaning off some of my heavier bipolar/anxiety/migraine meds…

Fair enough. Didn’t mean to be short, it’s just glaringly obvious to me — but maybe that’s because my office prayer rug is literally a cutesy version of the header image:

Thandie Newton’s work is incredible

No lies detected.  I don’t trust white women to do better until I see them doing so.  I am sorry if white women voted like black women in 2016 we wouldn’t have thousands of dead Americans right now.
