I live outside Atlanta, Georgia. I am an INFJ who loves to learn new things while I am quietly at home. I have a husband, 2 boys, 1 Irish Wolfhound, and 2 adorable cats. I support Rottweiler rescues and have been blessed by having 2 Rottweiler Rescues.

That must have been kinda awesome the day they found out the truth...realizing their best friend is literally family.

I'm glad you had the good experiences when you were young, and that the problems were kept from you until you were old enough to be able to handle them

I wonder if this [unalive] thing actually help people going through this issue, or if it is just for show. I wouldn't mind to change my vocabulary if it actually helped people, but I suspect this is much more about AdSense than anything else. Google will bowdlerize the entire Internet.

That was nice of him. I'm glad to read that y'all still had people trying to give you a family unlike some

We're not gonna mention that these people apparently play Russian roulette when drunk, instead of cherades or trivial pursuit?

I suspect more similar cases like this will emerge as more people take advantage of DNA testing.

Sadly all too common around here (Alsace) where the villages and their occupants switched between being German and French several times over the course of the last 150 years. War memorials, of which there are a lot, never mention one country or the other, it's understood that the fallen sons had no choice in who they were forced to fight for, or against.

All the kids should have been taken away right then and there that's just cruel

Anyone else thinks that these euphemisms somehow remove the heaviness of such stories, and the experience of the people? [Unalive] my a*s... This girl deserves her awful experiences to be called as they were.

He never reported it the police? I figured it would've been easy to solve since she kept her name and was able to find her years later.

That we weren't really poor; rather, I wore ratty clothes, never got any toys, and would frequently go hungry simply because my mom just didn't give a s**t about me. I was 18 when my mom told me that she started to panic when she had less than 50K in savings, this was in the early 2000s

Bright side, it taught me not to buy stupid s**t.
Darkside, nostalgia for games/toys/movies/trips etc. doesn't exist.
