[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is selfish about sharing your own story? What Brandon did was much more selfish and had a greater impact on their children than any book Jen may write. Brandon, of all people, had to have known that Jen would write a book about this. If there’s one constant in her life, it’s writing. I don’t even think it’ll be a “tell all.” I think she’ll remain vague, but even if she gives details—it’s her story to tell. [/quote]

Why do people need to know? Why do we need a book about it? So we can all gape in fascination at the details of Jen's life and marriage falling apart? Like I said, she needs to disappear from public life and become an ordinary person. She can share her story with people who actually know her. We don't need to know. [/quote]

She’s only sharing her story with people who choose to engage with it. She’s actually fairly ordinary and relatively unknown outside of a very specific demographic. [/quote]

You are missing the point-for these ladies the story is not HER story, it's a FAMILY story. Their sharing "with people who choose to engage with it" affects everyone in that story. There is a reason BOUNDARIES are a big buzzword. It's because they are essential to mental health and the lack of boundaries these women show is a sign of disorder. It's one thing to share your story when you kids are truly adults-maybe in their 30s and understand the consent aspect fully and you have gotten all the therapy and processed it fully and truly have wisdom to share. Glennon is acting out her mental illness struggles in real time....I saved my marriage....nope we are getting divorced....timeline with Abby keeps changing as to when they met...rush into marriage with another recovered alcoholic....marriage is wonderful....having struggles, need lots of therapy....I have been recovered from ED for years....currently struggling with ED have been for years.

Jen is in the same struggle....I'm all better, new boyfriend, new boyfriend seems to be checked out....Jen obsessed with ex husband and talking about him....gets new hair color that looks like ex's new wife, but totally better and has lots of wisdom to share, but sometimes seems intoxicated on IG and sells wine, but I am healed and have advice![/quote]
