  1. What a brave man to speak openly about the abuse.

    Is this a very rare that a mother would sexually abuse their child?

  2. Wouldn’t even call this cretin a mother. What a horrible thing to do to her own son. I hope the victim can overcome her abuse and live a wonderful life. What a brave man to come out and make her accountable for her despicable abuse.

  3. Something a lot of people seem to have glossed over is she was abused herself as a child. By no means is this an excuse for what she did— but there is nuance to this story.

  4. This made me sick. Just turned to my wife and asked had she read The Journal today. When she responded with “no, why, should I have?”, I just said “nope, no reason.” Fucking grim.

  5. When I hear about shit like this it always worries me because where they were willing to do that to their own child WTF would they or could they have done to other children left in their care or vulnerable too them.

  6. You know what gets me on this one other than the very oveet, horrific nature of it all?

    She looks so….normal. You’d never in a million years assume.

  7. There are few things more painful and hopeless than growing up with an abusive parent. Not knowing what actual love feels like. You never really recover from it. The best you get is learning how to cope. It robs you of something that you never get back. It follows you all of your life.

    An aunt of mine died a few weeks ago in early fifties from alcoholism. The poor woman was a tortured soul. Her mother, my grandmother, is an abusive psychopath. My father followed in his mother’s footsteps and made my life hell.

    Trying to figure out the minds of these people would drive you cracked. All I can say is I grew up knowing what evil looked like and wasn’t in for any surprises as I grew up and learned about the badness in this world.
