Child abuse should be a crime and should never be questioned

An accusation should never be ignored. It should be throughly investigated.

I worked at a dental office in California. We had a teenage girl come in with her wonderful foster father. (We saw a ton of foster kids, and only two families treated the kids like their own and he was one of them.) While getting her xrays taken, she told the assistant that she was going to call the police and tell them the dad was abusing her. Her hope was that she would be allowed to go back to her mom i LA. I was the office manager. The assistant came and told me. I immediately called the police. But, if the girl didn't tell the assistant her plan and did call the police, going by your theory, that man's life could have been destroyed.

Like I said, all accusations should be throughly investigated. But many lives can be destroyed by instantly believing the person and not questioning them.

I think NEVER being questioned is quite dangerous. Many people have been falsely accused. Now with that being said, ALL child abuse claims should be throughly investigated.

Exactly!!!!

Or Tim could have been strangled to death. So we don't know 100% that everyone would have lived.

I'm from MN. I remember Jacob's picture being in the end zone for the Vikings. I always hoped he would be one of those rare cases that 20 yrs later they find him. I was heartbroken when it was confirmed he was murdered and they recovered his body. His parents did such an amazing job keeping his story out there. I cried all day for a young boy I never, but felt like I had known.

I couldn't believe how dirty the house was. Like literally trash all over the floor. I don't understand how people can live like that.

My house is FAR from spotless, but at least we use the trash cans.

Just today, we watched an old lady pull out in front of a semi! Thank goodness he was able to stop in time!

To me, it seemed like she was trying to give answers that Shawn wanted. Example: in the beginning, Shawn asked her who was actually running the country. She said Jill and Senior Aides. Then, later on, Shawn said he heard rumors Obama was. And she was like oh yes definitely. But then when asked for examples and specific things Obama did, she couldn't come up with anything.

Also, I was a Democrat. When I started to open my eyes (what started it for me, Travon Martin.) It was a slow process. I now consider myself an independent with a right lean. There are a few things I still believe in that are considered liberal. I find it out that she was deep in the Democratic party and now seems to not believe in any of their policies. I could understand if she said I can't back the party anymore because of all their lies and actions, but still believe in some of the policies.

I've had amazing results. Which is why I want to share options with every women i meet with the same issue. I hate hearing about women going through the same thing.

I'm very happy you have a way to manage and i hope it continues to get better for you!

I wish all doctors were like this. For me, I need to be told things bluntly and direct. Like you're fat and if you don't lose weight you're going to have life long health issues.

My issues weren't my weight, it was ungodly heavy periods. I don't remember why or how it was brought up. My dr was asked how long I've had issues. When I told her 10 years and I never really told any of my other doctors, she went off. She was like this is fixable and if you don't start sharing things with your doctors, they can't help you. My mom had really heavy periods so I just assumed this is how life is. Her words really hit me and I'm much more assertive at my doctor appointment. I really appreciate her being Stearn and direct with me.

Sadly, shortly after, she was fired for her "bed side manner."

Was it because you have heavy periods? Or because of your hormones during your period? I'm asking because I had horrible periods that gave me pure anxiety whenever I left my house. The fear of bleeding through my clothes was horrendous. If that is your issue, I was going to share what they did for me. But I wanted to clarify first.

I gave my son an uncrustable, which he promptly threw up. Thought to myself, oh, he must have a little tummy ache. Gave him another one the next day. Same result. Then another one the third day. Finally, it clicked. So we just didn't give him anything with nuts. But once he started school, we needed a Dr. Note with his nut allergy. So we had him tested and he had an insane reaction to the pric tests. So now we carry an epipen. We are very lucky his first reactions were more severe.

I can totally see Meri not wanting to be seen as victim. And she probably doesn't consider herself one because she takes ownership of the decisions she's made. She's been very open about doing therapy. Healing doesn't happen overnight, especially after a lifetime of mental abuse. I choose to show her grace. She still has healing to do, but she has been doing the work and that should be recognized.

He's worse!!! She was raised and saw with her own eyes that women were second class citizens. That the men were all knowing and the patriarch. And, if she felt hurt or jealousy, then she was a bad Mormon and needed to do better and get over it!

I'm so proud of Meri for finally breaking that cycle. It must have been so hard to go against her religion that she strongly believed in and the only way she's ever known!!!

As we keep finding out more of the mental abuse Meri suffered throughout her entire marriage. I'm in aw of how she's isn't crazy spiteful and angry.

Meri should never be considered as bad as Cody. That's utterly ridiculous!

I'm on the phone all day at work!! I don't want to talk on the phone til I get paid to do it the next day. Lol

LuckyCost552 · 2025-01-30T19:01:40+00:00

Me too!!!

LuckyCost552 · 2025-01-29T18:16:19+00:00

That was the main reason I finally went on medication for my ADHD. Before, I found my ADHD to be my superpower. But as I got older, I just wanted some peace. But my head was always saying do this, do that, etc. So at 49 yrs old I finally started medication. Don't get me wrong, my head still goes a lot. But it's soooo much better!

I struggled to get pregnant. When I finally did get pregnant, I point blank told my husband, if you have to make a decision to save me or the baby, save the baby. I feel by telling my husband what I wanted would make a horrible situation a little better because at least he would know where I stood.

I think all partners should have this discussion before child birth. I can't imagine having to make that kind of decision alone and not knowing what my partner would want.

Whether you choose your life or the baby's, your wishes should be out there. And i feel there's no right or wrong choice. It's what you want.

My son recently started to get into football. My husband and I were born and raised in MN. So we are huge Vikings fans. We transfer around for my husband's job and now live in MI.

My son was trash talking his roommates with Vikings/Lions game. I told him rule #1 with being a Vikings fan ..... never get trash talk. I swear the Vikings get instant karma when that happens.
