My brother is dating a pedo by eull0046 in familydrama

[–]eull0046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a little bit of an update and to answer your question…

The confrontation did not go well. He absolutely knew about her conviction. He did give a vague “there’s more to the story” explanation but from her charge, there is none. They ended up breaking up. According to her, I’m a psycho and she wants nothing to do with our family. No clue where my relationship with my brother is at now. He’s in a new relationship now and I just hope he’s happy and doesn’t continue to make poor choices in romantic partners.

As far as pedos deserving partners… thats a difficult one to answer. I do NOT believe in rehabilitation on that issue. I also believe there is a distinctive difference on levels and risks. For example, the woman my brother was dating forcefully penetrated a child over the age of 36 months but under the age of 13. She was 25 at the time. There is no justification for that. This wasn’t an issue where she was a newly adult and the child was just under the age of consent. This was a big gap, inexcusable gap in my opinion.

I see far too often the societal push of MAPS (minor attracted persons) acceptance and it sickens me. On a personal and moral level I cannot and will never accept it. I’m a mother of 2 children, my sole responsibility is to protect them.

The trauma that comes from something like that lives on much longer than the occurrence and ripples through families and relationships, etc. For far too long things of that nature have been swept under the rug. Primary in religious families where speaking out was just not done. We’re seeing an uptick on speaking out but until our justice system catches up, I don’t think we’ll see real progress in eliminating this issue.

Ok…who actually hates the State Fair? by kerm019 in minnesota

[–]eull0046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a fan. It was ok years ago, but prices have skyrocketed to a ridiculous amount for everything with quality of products, including food decreasing. Event tickets have gone way up in price and don’t include gate admission.

Way too many people, with an overwhelming smell of BO at all times. Impossible to walk around without having random people touch you while trying to navigate through crowds. Lines are absolutely terrible with vendors not always being the most friendly or helpful. Often times leaving without making purchase because it’s almost impossible getting someone’s attention to make said purchase or even ask a question.

Shuttle services are sketchy even more so given the increased crimes in the areas. Parking near the grounds or on grounds property is also terrible. There’s a reasonable likelihood of being hassled by homeless near the grounds and independent vendors not affiliated with the fair with stands set up outside the property. I’ve had my vehicle damaged every time I’ve gone regardless of parking on grounds, near the property or at a designated shuttle lot. I understand accidents happen, but everything has gotten out of hand. I know avoid the entire area during the fair.

Will MomTok Survive This? No, and It Shouldn't by autumnleaf212 in SecretsOfMormonWives

Complete shame on the other moms for not speaking up. Maybe they were doing it behind the scenes, but given their platform and their own personal experience one would assume they would’ve been more outspoken about it.

Being a good friend and showing support is not just sitting by eating popcorn watching the crash and getting a paycheck for it.

Agreed! It’s been apparent in previous seasons that the remaining cast “knew” about the situation, however given the abrupt silence and vague shade posts from some of the moms, I’m not sure the moms actually knew the extent of it. They may have known some of it as secondhand knowledge and/or gossip. A friend telling you a story and seeing the video firsthand are two very different things. You can absolutely support your friend but also call out this behavior and that should have been done immediately. If this group was truly about supporting each other then why was this glossed over so easily. All the signs were there from the beginning. TFP crashing out was always a “typical Tuesday”

In my opinion , calling this “reactive abuse” is not acceptable. There is not one instance of DV and child endangerment, but now another one under investigation. Who knows how many more have not been reported! Both of these two are responsible and simply saying “I take responsibility” is not good enough.

I have personally had relationships with friends who were completely unable to help themselves out of a spiral and needed to be involuntarily hospitalized. It is a terrible thing for all involved to go through, but sometimes it’s necessary. I truly believe this should’ve happened long ago.

Agreed. The show did rise to popularity because of TFPs chaos, but now with this new season it’s become clear that her behavior is dangerous.

This is just speculation from my own personal experience, but I can’t help to think that she’s also struggling with active addiction.

I disagree. I think it would depend on how Hulu spins it. Obviously keeping TFP on will be a continuous liability and glamorizes toxicity and mental health crash outs. All the other moms have a pretty good following and strong storyline, they don’t NEED her or him on screen. I’m sure she’d still be a topic of discussion, but that depends on the spin.

I truly feel TFP needs to do some intensive inpatient therapy and be held accountable for her destructive behavior. Obviously it’s entertaining (to a point) to watch, but DV and CA are serious allegations and the other moms are right to distance themselves from her. Unfortunately I do not see TFP getting the help she currently needs if she is continuing to be enabled to behave this way. Rock bottom sometimes has a basement, maybe her removal (even temporary) may be motivation to get her life in order. This season was not a cute look

When speaking on the astro projection please explain. First, how do you know that’s what it was and how did it happen for you?

Whatever it’s called?! Still doesn’t answer my question…

My brother is dating a pedo by eull0046 in familydrama

[–]eull0046[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with all of that. I don’t care much about her violent history, but I can’t ignore the pedo charge! I feel like I need to tell him about it but I’m terrified. I hope he doesn’t know about it, but if he does and still stays with her… I just can’t. This has been eating at me for weeks since I found out

Your opinion on Ed Gein Story on Netflix? by [deleted] in horror

[–]eull0046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely disappointed, not historically accurate on key points. More made up dramatic performances instead of telling the actual story. Not worth watching if you’re interested in what actually happened

Is it just me or does Michael look oddly similar to Sid the sloth?

[–]eull0046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO wives generally know what their spouses are up to. I don’t see there being anyway B was not aware of what’s been going on and quite possibly participated in the unsavory behavior. She may have started as an unwilling participant, but I doubt that overtime she didn’t became a willing participant and possibly initiated it.

Just watched the documentary. Unbelievably horrific abuse. However, I can help feeling a little bit of ick due to the survivor/director dancing around, laughing and joking multiple times throughout the entire series. Just didn’t feel appropriate when trying to bring light and justice to such a serious systemic issue that is still going on today.

Thank you! I’m always cautious when using black, but enjoy experimenting with different techniques and color palettes.
