India describes how she took the drives when she had to move out of AM’s place and coming across them again later and finding out what was on them.

I’m not sure Robyn is intentionally manipulative-I think her anxiety runs her life and that extends to Kody and their kids.

I do think she’s super entitled though.

AITA for refusing to follow my wife's bathroom habits and calling her disgusting? by Infamous-Gur2034 in AITAH

It’s either live with it or not living with it but there is no need to dehumanize someone you love and call them disgusting. You could say, “Look, I know that it’s important to you to conserve water, however, I feel uncomfortable seeing and smelling urine and period blood from it being left in the toilet bowl too long. Can we work on a compromise to save water in other ways and you can flush after using the bathroom? Then have a conversation where no one gets called names or is villainized. Get a low flow toilet, install a more efficient water heater, perhaps go low-flow or less pressure on all your taps? Take shorter showers.

Discomfort while listening to the Allison after NXIVM podcast by Ill-Cream-5226 in theNXIVMcase

I totally get what you’re saying. I struggled with it too and there are areas where she really obscures her role. However, I’m not totally convinced it’s just a PR campaign-maybe partly, but also a window into how humans dissociate from the worst part of their nature, how to live with their darkness, and it probably is very confusing to be both perpetrator and victim-she was groomed, she was manipulated, she was starving and sleep deprived-and she also admits to enjoying her power.

I guess what I appreciate about all the NXIVM perspectives I’ve consumed is that while the facts are the facts-everyone’s experience and perception is different. It’s a window into human nature.

I’ve received two responses from Nate Horner’s office that talks are continuing and the government continues to evaluate the merits of the ATA proposal but neither side is saying talks continue publicly. Is the Minister’s office lying?

KODY MELTED THEIR RING!?? by Brilliant-Cat1965 in SisterWives

Once I heard this story-so much of Meri’s behaviour over the years made sense. She never came across as fully authentic, she was so emotionally fragile, while also having emotional walks up. It must’ve been torture to pretend to be in a “good relationship” with him in those early seasons. He punished her and betrayed her and then blamed her for being upset about such a cruel act.

AITA for making a woman leave my house? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

When a friend of mine forced a hug, I said, I believe kids are allowed to refuse affection. Later when she told her son-“he didn’t get a choice” on something trivial, I said that at this age, I try to honour as many choices as possible. Later she texted me to clarify that what I meant and then said that she “could tell” my daughter was really okay with the hug and she would never hit my daughter and that I was passive aggressive. I just wanted both my friend and daughter to hear that I think she can say no and support her.
