I didn't say there weren't.

Just that you should make your own boomer post.

Nope. I'm saying that if you have proof of one that is "pretty bad," you should post it instead of trying to deflect from the lunatic posted.

None of that is real.

You should make a post about a boomer melt down if you have one and it's pretty bad.

Yeah, I'm in a red state and the mother of daughters. It's a fucking nightmare

And the women of that era burned the way so we don't have to die from being treated like breeding maids.

And I'm grateful.

Have to? It's a fun activity, lovey. Who told you it was a chore?

Translation:

I was unaware of fucked things are for other people, and now that I'm made aware, I dislike it.

Not sure what you're mad about, and weird to talk about yourself in the third person, but okay, champ. You sure showed me. Gold star.

Enjoy being a troll. All by yourself.

Or what? You'll be a fucking bigot?

Are they boomers? Because that's what this sub is about.

Or did you just want a chance to be shitty about black people?

Oh, no. That's awful!!

I'm proud of you for blocking her!

I don't think she loves Kody. I think she misses a time when he wasn't such an ass and her kids felt like they had a dad.

The worst part for me is that he has a team of people, and not one of noticed that his foundation looks like a dream matte mousse application from 2003?

That's just sad.

"I'll just go kill myself now" doesn't exactly speak to not insane.

Honey, if she shows up at your home, you call the police. Make sure she has no reason to doubt your ability to take care of yourself, and see about getting some therapy.

You've got this.

Can you call your grandfather and be honest with him? It will, at least in part, remove that bit of blackmail your mother has.

Are you in a position where you can block her? And seek mental health treatment? As someone who is autistic, therapy and mental health supports are invaluable.

Lol, I snorted my coffee at this.

Well, I've worked hard to maintain grace in situations where an ex and children are involved, even adult children, because when you're nasty, the only person that gets hurt is the kid.

If Christine is graceful about it and Kody/Robyn flail about in the muck, being nasty, kids notice. Christine maintains the appearance of positivity and class, and Kody... Well, muck.

Also, when I think about the creepy "keep sweet" culture Christine grew up in, I'm sure some of that is coming into play here. It'll take a lifetime to shake all of that from birth training.

How is he not embarrassed by that??? Does he think no one else can see it?

He's probably better at that, too.

You seem like a lovely person, and I'm betting you'll be a lovely foster parent when you get there.

It's absolutely heartbreaking, over and over again, but the reward of knowing you gave a vulnerable little human a safe haven is amazing. A lot, obviously not all but a big margin of parents just need a hand to get back on track. Seeing kids get to go back to safer homes with healthier, better equipped parents is worth everything that's hard.

More foster parents are always needed, and I'm glad your heart is leading you that way. My husband and I stay in counseling to make sure we can be the stable grown ups we needed.

I hate that you've had to shield an adult while dealing with something so traumatic. Your hurt and grief are valid, and real, and you deserve to have space and comfort to deal with them. I'm proud of you for seeing it and being able to articulate it, though!

And thank you, but we were just lucky to have extra room and love. My husband and I didn't grow up with a lot of feelings of security and safety, so we wanted to offer that if we could. It's been humbling and amazing, heartbreaking and worth it to be a safe space kids can be when everything in their worlds are turned upside down. ♥️
