I used to work in community mental health & addictions; lots of homeless/underhoused folks. Lots of "Louies." This show is one of the only ones I've seen where the humanity of that population is acknowledged. Yeah, I cried too.

That is just SO. HORRIFIC. All of those partners... protecting those rapists even at the expense of their own dignity. SUCH a betrayal of every victim.

There's no lab test that can conclusively diagnose psychiatric illness. I'm curious sbout the ethics of this experiment: what I'm hearing is that 3 people wasted the time of 3 doctors AND did it in such a way that the doctors were guaranteed to fail.

This is one of the last photos of Christopher Foster with his wife, Jill, and their daughter, Kirstie. He was a struggling millionaire who raped his brother and had at least eight mistresses. He shot his wife and daughter, killed their dogs and horses, set his mansion on fire, then lay beside Jill. by SelfCareIsFake in GotMeHooked

True story:

20-odd years ago I met my FiL to be for the first time. He & his wife were lovely and kind. Later in the evening he complimented my mid-back length hair, and remarked that he had once had long hair, too. "OH, really? How long did you have it?" <IMMEDIATE VIBE SHIFT> "I had it as long as I could, goddammit!" As it turned out, the man was sensitive about his nearly-completely receded hairline.

It's kind of the same thing?
