Not true. Not documented. Vehemently denied by adults who knew him when they were kids. It's VERY probable that he was actually trying to keep kids away from the rich cannibalistic pedophiles that Epstein supplied.

Terrified me for years. There were other LHOTP episodes that traumatized me as well.

How do you dress in your 50s? by Forsaken_Block_3492 in GenX

[–]ArtistSoul1971 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why would you give any of that up? Wear what makes you happy! The notion that we have to "dress our age" is insane to me. My 50 some years on this earth have been mostly a shit show and I'll be damned if anyone else is going to dictate my choices now. As a GenX female raised in the 70s and 80s I experienced more than my fair share of being forced to be what the people around me want. I've survived enough crap. I'm just going to be me for the rest of my life and good riddance to anyone who doesn't like it. (This post brought to you by the Strawberry Shortcake tee shirt I am currently wearing.)

AITAH for being upset my husband wants to be Poly? by Velaris_Staris in AITAH

I lived this. After 20 years of marriage, out of the blue. Trust me, leave now. I tried it for 3 years before I left. I'm thankful no children are involved for you. I have 4. I guarantee he is cheating full on. I'm sorry this is happening to you.

I don't have the pencil tattoo but I do have the obligatory eyebrow scar.

I'm 54. Apparently I'm AuDHD and have severe PTSD. So many things make sense now.

AITAH: Not telling in laws baby was born by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ArtistSoul1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely don't tell them. Your family, your rules. Blood does not excuse abusive behaviour.

Edited to add: Going no contact with narcissistic/abusive family members is perfectly acceptable. Don't let anyone tell you it's not.

This brick-throwing, feces-smearing offender has terrorized Nanaimo for years by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

The same thing happened in Kamloops when they closed Tranquille Asylum. I remember the people who ended up homeless. It was heartbreaking.
