If you absolutely insist on having a major life meltdown, I can’t imagine why you want to do it on the fricking internet. See a therapist for heaven’s sake before you screw up a bunch of lives.

> [@April\_R](#): > > Didn’t say that at all. You’re butter and a little amusing. Bitter about what? I’m happy to be a source of amusement since it seems like you could use some. I hate to see people fucking with their kids’ lives, especially in such a juvenile fashion. And I think you’re very, very foolish to be posting about all of this. Truly, therapy is the place to work it out. ---
