[quote=Anonymous] Spain can be incredibly racist in a way that’s not necessarily broadly condemned like in the USA. I hope Rémy did not have to experience that.

My DD took some time off from college to au-pair for a family in Zaragoza, Spain. She (a young, fair complexioned, "white" girl) was treated like royalty and got an extreme up close look at the the very commonplace racism in Spain. There were historical reasons given and it was very clear (at least in the areas she visited and stayed) that black people were not welcomed or appreciated. It was a difficult time for her and I can only imagine what that sweet daughter of Jen's experienced. Let's not with the children, please. Jen puts her stuff out there and her tale is a tale of woe to some and she gives plenty of fodder, leave the children alone.

Furthermore, I watched Jen's invite to her MeCourse with her therapist. Here's my takeaway: there are women who Jen connects with. She has a presence on camera that is engaging and warm when she wants to be. There are people dying for the type of friendships that she seems to have and there are people dying for a friend who talks to them the way that Jen talks to people on the viewing side of the camera. It's like she doesn't know you but cares about your very health & well being, as a friend would! There's a certain loneliness that women only know, especially at her age and especially at her stage in life. Jen knows that and capitalizes on it. If you are on this thread and you find truth in that, I encourage you to find that type of friendship with the women in YOUR actual life and be that friend to women in YOUR actual life. I understand, that takes guts and maybe you have to start thinking a different way, you have to change a small way that you behave towards other women, you have to get out of a comfort zone that you're in that has helped you arrive at such a lonely place but GET OUT. Don't get caught up on where you/they are at and if maybe you'll have something in common. You're women, you'll have something in common - find joy in finding out additional things you have in common. You might be surprised. [/quote]
