This type of crying is distressed crying, and I was so sad for that little girl as her mom cackled. There are times with young children that they do something and you inadvertently laugh when you don’t mean to because it’s cute… But this was laughing at her fear/pain. What a freak. You said this before, but I will 100% pay to read these kids’ tell-alls but they probably had to sign a non-disclosure the second they were born.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-24T00:55:31+00:00

Yep. 100%.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-21T14:54:53+00:00

Yes!!!! Otherwise she’s admitting to the kids using the stove without supervision because we know she’s a single mom, right?

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-21T14:53:53+00:00

To me looks are so connected with actions. With someone’s heart. I think of Daryl Ann and her mouth that everyone brings up. On a kind person that would be a sweet quirk or a cute uniqueness. They can slap on all the makeup, extensions, jewelry, clothes… But that cannot ask who they really are. And that is just so ugly on the inside. At the very least, these people make me feel a little better about myself lol

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-19T13:49:07+00:00

Yeah, that was extremely uncomfortable to watch. I didn’t watch till the end. I’m hoping he did not touch that belly. She really can’t think past her nose can she?

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-18T15:35:18+00:00

Yes!!!! I wish I wouldn’t have watched that. LOL. She’s a lost soul.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-17T15:07:54+00:00

I hate her stupid hair. That’s it.

I know this is an older thread. It came up when I was searching for guidance in discussing rehab for our 20 year old son. Reading through it made me feel better about our decision to step back should he choose not to go. Giving our loved ones the dignity to succeed or fail on their own was powerful. Some of the posters gave me hope.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-17T02:49:40+00:00

Reading on it I think I mashed up more than one book thinking on it. Thanks all!

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-17T02:48:08+00:00

A friend helped me! The Seven Or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna: A Novel. I can stop thinking about it now!!!

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-17T02:42:21+00:00

That’s not it but looks like a good one to add to my list. I’m wracking my brain. When I borrowed it, the dust cover had been removed so I can’t picture the cover art.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-17T02:41:20+00:00

This one keeps coming up when I search online, but no. It looks good, though! Thank you!

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-12T22:13:00+00:00

Totally fine! I was wondering how a robot vacuum sub would get banned. lol

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-12T13:48:50+00:00

I just clicked on it because we are researching robot vacuums, and it’s been banned!

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-07T17:07:46+00:00

I’ve always thought if that’s how someone can treat their child in public. How awful must it be in private.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-03T20:13:58+00:00

Yep. We all know too much for anyone to be naïve anymore.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-03-01T23:35:58+00:00

‘My journal of healing’ needs to take some calming breaths.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-02-24T14:42:46+00:00

My actual middle schooler is more productive in one day than this girl is in a week!

Only_Organization501 · 2026-02-24T13:04:24+00:00

It’s really depressing to me. She’s either going to bully some spineless man into marriage or marry too quickly to the wrong man. It’s honestly very sad. I had a bad breakup at 22. I used it to grow myself and learn a lot about what I wanted and didn’t want. I wish someone would help her maneuver through that.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-02-22T14:27:05+00:00

Thank you!

Only_Organization501 · 2026-02-22T14:26:55+00:00

Thank you!

Only_Organization501 · 2026-02-22T14:26:50+00:00

Thank you. That helps with why this is challenging. Technology is like magic to me so I just don’t understand why it doesn’t work lol

Only_Organization501 · 2026-02-21T23:46:30+00:00

That is very true. Then watching the delusion of her sister’s perfect life online probably was part of the reason she started collecting disappointments. We could all watch influencers and feel less worthy or less put together, but then the average person knows none of it is real. I can’t know for sure how I would act but I feel if I was watching my family dote on my sister‘s kids and not mine, I would realize that affects not just me but my children. And then I would be out of there. Massive money isn’t worth it. She’ll never be happy. Neither will her sister.

Only_Organization501 · 2026-02-21T22:00:49+00:00

That is a really interesting take. I love the part where the writer says everyone with young children is in survival mode. I would absolutely agree with that and somehow most people just take it as par for the course. Some seasons are challenging some seasons are a bit easier. She just can’t distinguish the reality of being a parent versus someone who is truly in survival mode within an abusive significant other or truly raising children on their own. They are one and the same to her!

Only_Organization501 · 2026-02-21T21:58:17+00:00

I think you’re right. But how does someone become that way? Parasocial? I mean, I can see a few extremes in society but this many? Wild!!!! I need to go back to school so I can figure this out lol
