Decline those calls. The fact that she is your mother does not mean that she has to be a part of your life. She has to earn that like everyone else. Fill the time you would spend on the phone being torn down by her doing something you love that makes you happy and at peace. You deserve it.

I got ear pressure equalization tubes for the first time when I was 22 months old and the doctors finally realized that I hadn't learned to speak or walk yet because I couldn't hear and I had an inner ear fluid imbalance that gave me balance issues. I said my first words two weeks after the first surgery and learned…

I'd argue that you aren't enjoying the game if you aren't paying attention to it. You're enjoying the atmosphere. There's nothing wrong with that, but I prefer to enjoy both the game and the setting in which it happens. The best way for me to truly leave behind the stress of working in a busy ED is to immerse myself…

I have a lot more fun at games since I started trying to keep score, though I have always enjoyed baseball. Most of the drama and excitement is in the details, which can be easily missed if you aren't paying attention.

It is, and I think it's "blame."

Plenty of people have mental illnesses and are not under conservatorship and don’t need to be. Anxiety and depression affect more than 50% of the US population alone. Mental illnesses, including bipolar disorders, can be managed with strict adherence to medications and regular therapy. In only the most severe cases…

Keeping her in a perpetual state of dependence on them is what allows them to continue collecting and controlling the profits from her work. It's what a lot of abusive people do.

It would be merely watchable without Robin. Even if he isn't the main character, he is the beating heart of the film, and every time I watch it, I am equally sad that he can't still be here breathing life into more films and grateful for the ones he left behind. 

She’s also missing out on some of Robin Williams’ most riveting work.

Congratulations! My dad’s 29th transplantiversary was at the end of June. I wish they made cards, but he appreciated the phone call.

😂

My guess is that he perceived his marriage as very happy because it was conducted on his terms and he was getting what he wanted out of it, not because he had a mutually fulfilling emotional and physical bond with his wife and viewed her as his partner in decision-making.

Our safety and survival, as women, depends on our understanding of men. Men’s safety depends only on the whims and decisions of themselves and of other men.

Also, the HPV vaccine prevents cervical cancer, one of the leading causes of death for women. So that’s definitely a great thing to make sure teenagers don’t have.

I'm glad one of the people in Britney's life is stepping up for her and trying to bring this madness to an end.

Rebellion comes in many forms.

Good evening, Jezzie frens! It’s a perfect night for baseball and, more importantly, ice cream in a small hat, and, most importantly, post-victory sparklybooms.

Also, her statement that she believed that Britney has always had the ability to speak up on her own behalf strains credulity. It's clear that she hasn't, and should be obvious now that she has been allowed to give a statement in court in her own words.
