When this kid is in counseling as an adult and is trying desperately to understand the trauma of her childhood all they need to do is pull up Jen’s Facebook feed.

I really hope that whatever this kid is dealing with isn’t related to adoption trauma. That would make that response even worse.

So she constantly posts how she just cannot parent and these kids have to raise themselves and now says she is always there for them (except this one time). What is it, Jen?

how exhausted could you be with a 18 and 16 year old. yes, those ages can be difficult, but not to the extent she complains about it.

Or if she’s upset with the older ones? One of them isn’t even 21 with a DUI. I’m hoping she isn’t throwing in the towel on parenting a child with a drinking problem by sitting on the couch with wine.

Oh, no, this post was so very sad. What happened to Jen? This poor, poor kid. I had a parent who talked about me like this to their friends, and it messed me up for a looooong time. Newsflash - if you put your kids on blast like this to strangers, you by definition do not have their back, you are not their confidant. I can't imagine if my parent had done this; we probably would never speak again.

Also, it's looking like she is reevaluating the use of the word "tribe" - good for her. "Pod" probably is a less complicated word to use. Can we also please reevaluate the single parent thing? Are you a parent who is single? Sure. Is it the same thing as a single parent of small children who works a traditional job? No. Are your kids largely physically independent, and do you have possibly the most flexible "work" schedule in the world? Yes. Do you seemingly have a huge friend group who will do literally anything for you? Yes, because we hear about it constantly. Did you make a whole video about how you aren't planning to feed your kids dinner anymore because you're dating? Confusingly, also yes.

Parenting is hard, yes. But utilize your many resources. Don't put your kid on blast. Making jokes about not feeding your kids because you're dating is a weird look. Your kid already has adoption trauma; now they have the trauma of a divorce (can be especially difficult for adopted kids). Maybe be there for your kid. This whole post made me really sad.

She’s turned into a pretty awful self absorbed person. I feel sorry for her kids. They are the ones who suffer here while she’s out there trying to be relatable snd whatever. Because she has followers, she’s got a whole legion of moms thinking it’s okay to throw in the towel and talk about their kids this way. I understand needing to vent. I understand being tired. Those aren’t horrible things, but having a platform like this, and using it as content… when you know..: there’s plenty of content. SMH! How about raising money for a charity to help our brothers and sisters in Ukraine? Yeah, no, Jen can’t. She’s too busy blasting her kids and showing us an out of our price range lipstick. Lol

The Jesus schtick wasn't bringing in the big bucks for her anymore so now she's become a shill for Big Beauty.

Saw she posted a photo of her and Brandon happily coparenting Ben at a college thing. Betcha this will be her new thing - how to coparent after divorce trauma ....

[Anonymous]

Joking about emotional incest and making your son’s identity all about you and the post supposedly about him all about you.

And making sure to sneak in a shot at Remy. The way she talks about Remy always bothers me and no doubt that’s who her post the other day was about

[Anonymous]

Yep… no doubt. The way she gushes over Ben and then alludes to a “problem” with her other child… you know Remy likely feels further cast aside. I feel sorry for her. I’m sorry your mom uses you as a prop for her to make money, Remy. Being a teen is hard, and ole “look at me” Jen just makes it more traumatic. It’s pathetic, imo.

[Anonymous]

That post about Ben was troubling. How must he feel about his mom going on and on to her thousands of followers about him being her best friend and her mini-me? No teenage boy would want that. Plus, it sounds pretty unhealthy - like she can’t see him separately from herself at all.

Gotta love her and her friends in the golf cart solving the problems of the world by belting songs.

I felt so sick reading that because it reminded me of my mother. Remy is an awesome teen and she doesn't deserve that.Man I am still living it with my mom and still sorting it out in therapy and trying to accept my own mother for the flawed, nasty person she is. Free Remy! I wish her nothing but happiness in the world and I hope she has a great group of friends who always have her back. I hope she finds mom figures who value her and make up for Jen.

She didn’t turn into one. She has always been that way.
