Come to our seminar to learn how to have an amazing marriage, give me your money and find out all. We make out all the time. So amazing. We are getting divorced. Please respect our privacy. Dave spirals and eventually dies of a drug overdose. What were they selling? And they adopted a child into this perfect marriage. And we know all about their kids and issues with the grandparents. BUT it's just Rachel's story and she's not doing any harm putting it all out there?!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Theories?

Never Glennon who I considered to be a clear toxic narcissist from the get go.

Years ago, when a Jen fan, I checked out Momastery and while I liked Glennon's writing and really liked a couple of her posts, she had a crazy-eyed look that made me think she was a little cuckoo. And...here we are. She is actually mentally ill. Her sister is a brat and Abby is trying to make the relationship work with all her Olympian strength but wow, it's a struggle.
I can't even bring myself to hate-listen to her podcast.


I have mixed feelings on Glennon, but she didn't have to disclose her health condition to the whole world on her podcast, and she did, knowing it would absolutely be seen by many as hypocritical. Isn't that transparency? When she wrote Untamed, she didn't know she was anorexic. She had a hard time accepting it apparently even when told quite bluntly by specialists - that kind of denial is part of the disease, which is what the specialist told her when she denied it. Anyone who reads any of her books and thinks they're suggestive that she (or anyone's books, thinking they) "have it all figured out" has their own problems. There's not a single book in the world written by someone who actually has it "all figured out." "All figured out" doesn't exist. In any event, I think it's shitty to rag on someone for their health condition, that they opted to disclose and certainly didn't have to.

Point received and taken.
