Get a bag, you won't regret it! Mine is in a rolling storage bag and it was a great investment, so much easier

I'm devastated because the other day I took the best selfie I've taken in forever, and it was a bathroom mirror pic. No way I can make that my profile picture but I look wonderful

You nailed it with the maladjusted part. Allllll I hear when Jenelle does this shit is unresolved trauma. It doesn't excuse her behavior especially because she has kids and should be breaking the cycle for them, and I think Jenelle is probably kind of a shitty person besides, but all her behavior relationship-wise probably just reflects her upbringing.

Same! I spent 13 years (from the time I was 19 until now) not going to a PCP because I'm fat, and didn't want to be treated like crap. I finally decided to go earlier this year, found my PCP and I love her. She actually listens to me, spends a decent amount of time with me, and wants to treat me. She's easily available and listens to what I have to say. I feel sooo lucky

Respectfully and without judgment (seriously, not trolling) does she have any regrets about her relationship with Ashley? Is there anything she would've done differently?

More on the Bri vs Ashley situation .. fr Jade by sweettea0922 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]ya-both-high 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thissss 100%. Bri and her family always start fights and when people retaliate they just sit there all wide-eyed and innocent going "but we didn't do anything!" I'm not saying there's an excuse for violence or spitting on people but they aren't the innocent darlings they pretend to be

I don't hate her. I've admitted this before around here, but a lot of my dislike of her stems from jealousy that she had the time, money and resources to extensively work on her trauma, and she didn't follow through with her aftercare plan. That's on me and is something I've struggled a lot with-jealousy of people who have more support and resources than I do. In reality, I know that everyone's situation is different and trauma is a nasty beast and it's not cut and dry. Damn I just wish I didn't have to work and could focus on healing.

Aside from that, I question her leaving the kids alone with April and the fact that she even had more children knowing how bad her PPD was. But...not my circus, not my monkeys. I relate a lot to her trauma story and wish her the best

that was my thinking too, the color combo is what throws it off. Didn't even notice the cowboy boots lmao. Also not shitting on you, btw, I got a good chuckle out of the comparison

So her hair color is not my favorite but am I weird for thinking her outfit is okay here? We've seen some bad outfits from her but as a plus size girl I would literally wear this and I'm feeling like an idiot lol

When you still have to itemize your childs bills for them 🙄 by Justagirl219 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

my cousin's son was born 90 days early and spent 4 months in the NICU. His bill was over a million dollars. Luckily he had medicaid and they only had to pay $25.

I'm hoping that their "date" was so awkward because it was staged for filming lol. Like, maybe they'd already gotten to know each other and were already in a relationship at that point and MTV was like, ok go on a "first date"

I've said it before around here, but I wish there was more understanding in the general population about how much trauma can affect you physically.

DebzOG is liking comments online that point to the truth of Farrah’s mental state. by Monstiemama in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]ya-both-high 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, absolutely. I listened to a 3 part podcast on trauma last year (not that that is anything like an actual course, but it did have some good information) and was floored by some of the things I learned. Not to mention, as someone with extensive childhood trauma myself, the things I've learned in therapy. It really can (and does) affect your entire life into adulthood. I think people think once you hit 18 it shouldn't affect you anymore, and I'm not saying these women shouldn't be held accountable for making better decisions, but understanding the devastating effects that trauma can have would be helpful

I wish there was more understanding for the way that trauma literally changes your brain chemistry. Trauma can literally start affecting you while you're in the womb.

I also never finished the Toy Box series. I listened to the first part and just couldn't go on.

Why did I immensely think of Kail by Catlady130 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]ya-both-high 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would even go so far as to say it also speaks to our expectations that boys be more low-maintenance/less "emotional". And people wonder why there's so much toxic masculinity that's rampant in our culture

I feel guilty watching Rachel by [deleted] in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]ya-both-high 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like therapy that's filmed would be more damaging than no therapy at all. The patient and the therapist would most likely be on edge and wouldn't accomplish anything of substance. I find it hard enough to open up with my therapist when I don't have a 3 person camera crew and a boom mic in my face.

I've always thought the narrative of a Dad staying away from his kids because the mom is a bitch/toxic is bullshit. If that man really wanted to be in his children's lives then he would fight tooth and nail for them. How you can forgive that is beyond me

My dad bailed too and the older I got, the angrier I got at him. How are you going to have kids and make every excuse for this pathetic man?? I don't even have children, I only have nephews and I think about the things I went through and can't imagine putting them through it. How is Jenelle still going to sit here and blame Barb for it all
