[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But wait, did any of them talk about being abused? Jamie talked about being serially cheated on. I don’t remember any of them talking about abuse. Jen herself only testified to profound disconnection in her marriage even as she was posting about how happy they were.[/quote]

You are probably only referring to physical abuse, but infidelity is abuse—the deception, manipulation, gaslighting, betrayal, humiliation.  Many experience PTSD for years afterwards.[/quote]

Abuse like screaming at your daughter during a conference call so everyone could hear? Or blasting their dirty laundry to their small town? Of saying you don’t intend to get them medical and dental appointments? Or throwing a board game against a wall when you lose? Like that?

No one is clean here. [/quote]

Yeah. I have parenting and marriage moments when I was not at my best. I have regrets, moments where I wish I could go back and get a redo. That's life. You apologize (I think apologizing to your kids is one of the most powerful things you can do) and you try and do better. You learn your triggers and you investigate if medication might be in order, especially if it's hormonal.

But I don't humble brag them on SM - ?

The whole "I'm such a mess" thing started as, you don't have to be perfect. That was good.

But it quickly morphed into, you're such a beautiful mess you don't even have to give a crap! It's so so adorable to suck ass at being a mom! So free and full of moxie! If it makes a funny facebook post, you're an inspiration to moms everywhere!
