great article, thanks for sharing
Who’s cutting onions this early??
You can always rely on libs when you need to dehumanise the poor. Hopefully you’ll be able to feel shame one day.
sweet of them but how do their kids feel about it?
“Somebody said to them [their children] one day, ‘how did you cope with Ronnie when your friends came to the house’ and they said ‘well, we don’t think about it really, it’s just Ronnie’.”
Rob added: “Our kids had never ever known life without Ronnie. He was there before they came and he was there when they were gone, with children of their own.”
I read the article and nothing there answers my question
people can be blind to their own children, literally in stories older than the written word
you see cases of resentment with families that have to focus on children with major special needs
he was high functioning but a couple lines show some friction occurred so this sounds kinda whitewashed, but people don’t need to know all your personal business
but anyway I doubt this is completely honest
If it was a blood relative, you wouldn’t question it. Yes there was friction. All relationships have friction.
Why be cynical about this?
sure i would, the example i was thinking about was three kids one being special needs all related by blood
as to being cynical?, because i hate bullshit articles just be honest about the struggles
Most people desperately need these comforting lies. They use more comforting lies to deny the larger comforting lies. It is comforting lies all the way down.
