"Malcolm had a turbulent childhood that he clearly doesn’t want to talk about. He comes from a wealthy family and grew up in Dallas, but was sent to a “troubled teen” residential facility when he was 11. The only reason he can give me for being sent there was that his parents were getting divorced and were locked in a bitter custody dispute, and the judge “thought I shouldn’t be with either parent”. After that, he lived at a private boarding school, with his fees and expenses covered by a family trust. “I have no beef with my parents. My childhood was hard, but my adulthood has been easy. Can I say a parent did a bad job if I’m happy with my life today? I don’t think so.” "

L to the O to the motherfucking L. These people are just reacting to their trauma and acting like they've found some magical answer to life being hard. Their poor children.

Yeah, this is clearly one of those the accusation is a confession moments.

Yeah, it's not even just a sensationalist headline. It's what they ruled. How are we supposed to reconcile this with the rest of the world? I'm genuinely asking. How do you include a country with leadership like this in the future of the world? Someone enlighten me.

Thank you so much. I cannot stress how much I prefer a written article.

Their message is "don't people who are different than you freak you out?!?!". Simpletons, grifters, and losers. That's all they've got left.

I imagine the census worker was asking the father for answers, so this is likely his passive aggressive critique of his daughter. Good for her.

I worked at a library in college. It was amazing. Truly one of my favorite jobs I've had. Libraries are legitimately one of the best things about modern society. Go support your local library folks!!

Go to your local food bank. Food banks are often seriously underused programs that are exactly for people in your situation. A lot of people are hesitant to use food pantries because they perceive them to be for people in worse shape than themselves. But if you are only able to pay half rent, you are exactly the person that food pantries are more than happy to help. They are typically staffed with incredible people who often have their own experiences with trouble making ends meet, and these days you can get some very high quality and fresh food. Please, go. Other than that, know that being tired and feeling hopeless is normal, but you can persevere. Just reaching out here is a really hard step that takes a lot of courage. Good on you! And good luck! Internet hugs!!!

Definitively no.

Right? What a ridiculous article. We are all a little more stupid now.

You're stirring the pot. The conversation is over. It's their instance and they can do what they want.

The "greenest" thing anyone can do is not have children.
