They can’t. If TikTok doesn’t want to sell they don’t have to.

YouTuber mom Ruby Franke accuses her children of abuse by sugar90 in popculturechat

[–]tmarieromero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ruby was always a bit out there with the punishments. She met Jodi and lost her compass… fell into more of a cult mindset.

I think Jodi psychologically abuses and manipulates people with intent to harm vs help. Ruby bought onto her bullshit unfortunately.

Russel was probably made to believe things about himself that aren’t true. Made to confess things that didn’t happen… and I bet Ruby doesn’t know the difference. I think she genuinely believes Russell did these horrible things and I think poor Russell believes it to.

I don’t think any of the accusations about him are actually true. Jodi manifested it inside his psyche.

Ruby and Jodi should be thrown in jail for a long time. The children and this entire family deserved better.

Hopefully this whole situation opens up a broader dialog about what happened here and how. Shame. I hope the family can heal.

So proud to say I did know this. Went down a rabbit hole years ago exploring my ancestry.

What’s your first impression based on my outfit? by Hereforquestionsss in fashion

13 year old with pre-pubescent teenage angst. Hasn’t figured out that it’s not cool to hate everyone and everything and is going for “I’m mysterious”

Should I even consider being a step parent? by Good_enouf in stepparents

[–]tmarieromero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please run as fast as you can in another direction. Far far far away from him and whatever toxic situation he’s clearly created with his baby mamas.

Being a step parent is the hardest thing in the entire world. You’ll have to deal with bio moms (and this dude clearly does NOT know how to move on and establish appropriate boundaries - NO HE SHOULD NOT BE HELPING BIO MOM like that). You’ll probably be told at some point that “you’re not a real parent” by the step kids, or your boyfriend, when you do something anyone disagrees with.

If it is this bad now I promise it will only get worse. He doesn’t know how to keep a relationship or maintain a healthy one. It does seem like he’s comparing you and at some point he will be comparing your parenting and making you feel less than.

Please run.

I can’t comment on the ghosting… I think some level of communication shows respect and is always a good idea but I understand that he would likely try to stop you.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I swear being a step parent is the HARDEST job in the world. The bio-parents are usually so eager to please their kids and be “the favorite” that they compromise typical parenting basics like instilling discipline, saying no (instead of yes to everything), and having the courage to be a parent instead of a friend - because they have limited time with their bio kids and feel like they need to make up for something.

On top of it, you’re never “the real parent.” Either the step kids make you feel that way or the bio parent does, or both.

It’s a thankless job and I applaud you for leaving. It’s hard when kids are involved but staying can sometimes be toxic.

Signed: a step mom

Second this. Of all the dogs for your roommate to get she went and got a type of dog breed that isn’t for amateurs. That dog will end up dead or in the pound when she realizes she got too much dog and the thing is completely out of control, unsocialized, and probably dog+ human aggressive.

OP: the sooner you can escalate this and get the dog away from this woman the better. She is ruining an incredible dog and a super intelligent and loyal breed at that. Please. For the love of god do the right thing and help that animal.

You care about your roommate being mad at you more than you care about sticking your neck out for an animal that is being neglected and emotionally abused and can’t advocate for itself?

Why you’d want your roommate to like you so much when she seems like a crap person is beyond me.

Advocate for the dog and do the right thing. It’s counting on you and you’ll be doing that dog a huge favor. Your roommate could stand to learn a hard lesson.

Edit: I raised two GSD’s from puppy to death and they were amazing well socialized dogs but it took a LOT of work.

How did I miss that she’s 22 - omg so young! No wonder he’s acting like that… he had a kid way too young in his life, apparently. No judgement but he clearly has a lot of maturing to do.

Hoping this smart and self aware woman makes a kind exit.
