@snorks She's not much better, but he's the one being petty to a 6 year old.

Pffff talk about thin skinned. Only shows how insecure and pathetic he is.

I needed to read this today. Couldn't agree more.

JUST finished listening the final episode, in the end they simply went with whatever the medium said? The medium also implied she had been strangled so not the most reliable.

It very much felt like in this high profile and prestigious family, they wanted to keep the family reputation intact; to protect someone even the kids seemed to admire, even though he was several generations removed from them. With the passing of time, the husband had successfully erased the memory of his hugely accomplished wife and painted himself as some sort of hero in their eyes, which is truly sad whether he killed her or not. Feyther came across as a narcissist and the Dancy family as quite content with the patriarchal narrative.

@mamamia-user-482898552 Like her or not that work as provided results for at least one person ie Julius Jones, who's sentence was changed from the death penalty to life in prison. She may be a vapid celeb, but there is at least some work being done to change someone else's life.

@sharonbrisbane I think the issue here is that this question, while it may be very mundane to some, can be emotionally charged to others, and by now we should have learnt that our personal experience doesn't invalidate others'.

As someone who is the only non-white person at my workplace (500 people work here), the first few weeks of employment I got this question endless times; you could see how people were trying to frame the question in a non-offensive way, but it always made me uncomfortable, it made me feel like I had do somehow explain my presence among the rest, overall almost every single encounter was super cringe on both sides.

This is the problem with putting entitled people who contribute little to society (other than drama created for ratings) on TV, and making them some sort of celebrity. They are completely out of touch with what the real world is like, have very little empathy for us regular people who *gasp* have to work for a living, and lets be honest, are usually pretty shitty people.

What is even the point of this Real Housewives of wherever shows? Are we suppose to what... look up to them?

Working mums already have enough of society making them feel guilty without deluded rich women looking down on them.

@kate m Thank you. That make's it so much worse, the senselessness of it all.

While all of this is very true, I take a lot more issue with the therapy talk and misuse o the word 'boundaries'. Therapy talk has become so widely used incorrectly that it's managed to make it's way into coercive control of all places, disguising deeply controlling behaviour as 'boundary setting'; which in turns gaslights the abused into thinking she must actually be doing something wrong.

The article doesn't mention... what was the end game here? Money or just randomly making people miserable for no reason?

While I completely understand the author's need for support, and I commend her for seeking it, perhaps social media is not the best place for it.

First and foremost, you are discussing your difficulties as an adult, in control of your own choices; in raising a CHILD, who has no saying, no control and as acknowledged, unspeakable trauma. Adding to this the possibility of further trauma by making this public and widely available along with photos, to me just seems unfair and ultimately wrong.

Second, you open yourself to judgement, from anyone, myself included. Will this add on to the struggle rather than alleviate a difficult situation?

Is the short-term validation worth it?

Very much a cultural element. To me the idea of not including children in a 'family' event is preposterous, then again I grew up in Latin America where we have a much wider idea of what constitutes family. Growing up I attended dozen of weddings along with cousins and friends, and I don't ever remember the bride and groom making any special entertainment/considerations for the little ones other than to lump us all together in the same table, and were happy to allow us to have our silly dances in one corner of the dance floor, our parents also didn't baby sat us through the day/night, they went on to have fun themselves and allowed us to just be. Our culture is a lot more easy going regarding children, the western idea that children must stay out of sight until they can 'behave' and stay quiet is really quite sad and isolating.
