@JessupShannon Good for you, mama! I wish my parents had done this for me. I was the same as your son - kept it all together at school and then lost it at home. I have lived my whole life worried that no one thought me worthy of protecting. This stuff isn’t small. At all.

@BlondeHistorian I believe you, Amy. I know that doesn’t mean much coming from an Internet strangers#, but both of these sound troubling and I am sure are exhausting. I am pleased to see folks chiming in with reassurance, though it doesn’t drown out those who make excuses.

@ask_aubry The r*pe part is awful in every way. But the fact that they have kids together is perhaps the worst part for me. When I got to the part where he talks about her being a good mom - hoo boy. Their kids may have been sleeping in the next room while he did this. I want to 🤮.

@sicksicksickx If you are sitting nearby and don’t offer help, you’re a jerk. Also goes for being near a mom trying to board with kid(s) plus stuff. No matter how well prepared mom (or dad) is, an extra pair of hands from someone is almost always welcome.
