2: progress would be nice don't ya think? Even if you aren't a great partner right now, you have the power to change that. I know I didn't always love my husband how he deserved and he didn't show up in the ways that I needed. Thankfully, we keep working on ourselves together. That's real romance.

More than 100 years....how much progress has been made? It doesn't have to be that way. Maybe we could all stop wearing "this is just who I am" as a badge of honor and start reparenting ourselves and healing and being better partners with each passing year. Not to excuse being a shitty partner, but

Okay, let's see your first attempt at brain surgery next please! Sheesh talented! This is gorgeous, even if it wasn't your first go!

Wow. That totally tracks. I always reduced it to misery loves company, but maybe it is the cognitive dissonance of reconciling their own abuse. Either way, it's very sad. It's not easy to be a cycle-breaker, but someone has to!

Got one myself. Can't believe I delivered another child with that doctor. I didn't realize at all how problematic it was really. It didn't sit well with either of us though...

Glad to see you are both getting in touch with the other side of yourselves πŸ˜‚ Balance is a beautiful thing

We've seen the poverty and trauma in the wake of those installations though. That's the future they wanted for us.

Every move they make in the past few years makes them less relevant for readers. They lost my subscription a year and a half ago.

This is so gross. This society has lost the plot. But this is patriarchy at its finest. Everyone is property to these men in charge. And all of us are here for their pleasure or to do labor for them. Time for these worn out ideologies to retire along with the people who support them.

This is fantastic! My husband and I consider ourselves the leadership team of the household. This comes along with strategic meetings when needed. When I take the lead too hard, he feels left out and unheard too. We aim for balance as much as possible, but that looks different every day.

Shocking how early on this happened. We should have used this as a sign that rural men were getting even more intolerable than they had been for so long. Not surprised that it is getting worse though. I’m on a mission to combat the radicalization of the next generation of young men, for my sons.

The mental gymnastics that is required to get so close to the point and still miss it that badly might be worthy of a medal.

No lies…but I still love the band Incubus though…. tough to reconcile that πŸ˜‚

This is propaganda and meant to force women to β€œaccept” their toxic partners. I would say it deserves a good burning, but I will not support these vile lies by purchasing a copy. Could anyone actually buy that load of crap?

I have been thinking about this book so much in recent weeks. Reading it in elementary school was foundational to who I am today and how I view the world. An absolute must read. Maybe it is calling me to another go around. Thank you for sharing.

Just a thought...maybe we should stop dehumanizing our children and actually treat them like real people who are worthy of love and respect. I bet this guys kids LOVE him πŸ™„

I humbly believe it is at the core of all of our failing relationships. Colonization breed white supremacy and patriarchy and they love to divide and conquer. Even though men are treated preferentially, their relationships suffer because they aren't held accountable to grow up and be good to others.

I keep saying that billionaires should be classified as hoarders. Their need for more wealth is pathological and should be in the DSM and have a treatment plan. 12 Steps to compassion and living in community with the rest of the world maybe...

It's funny that you say that. I feel smart, and people tell me that I am, but the number of times the thing that I had to say came from seemingly nowhere leads me to believe that not all of the thoughts are my own. The most genius of them I tend to not take credit for. Not sure if that right of not.

Love this so much! I'm a solo practitioner and have been honing my tarot craft for 4 years. I'm a writer and a great deal of what comes to me is channeled and then refined. I was put here to help reawaken our planet, as many of you likely can relate to. Happy Friday!

The lack of an "angry" emoji on this app is frustrating. Hitting the "heart" button on something like this does not communicate the way I feel about it. This is so wrong. While we should have seen it coming because of his track record, it makes no sense and shouldn't be permitted to continue!

In the meantime, he should be the one barred from owning casinos! Who goes belly up when the house always wins? He did! πŸ˜‚

If the bad guys every gave a shit about something being illegal, it would stop so much trauma from happening to begin with. Definitely not the case though.

I'm so sorry that you are going through the emotional release right now. The tears are worth not holding onto the pain for years. This sounds like a healthy way to work through it. I know it can feel like it's going to consume you though. Sending love!
