2025-08-07 01:54:07 +0000 UTCIt may be worth noting that apparently encouraging journaling is a thing in the Mormon church, which is thought to be why this case was so well documented, because everyone, including Susan journaled. Though I guess possibly Steve and Josh could have continued journaling despite speaking against the church due to narcissism.

2024-05-31 22:14:25 +0000 UTCUnexpected, but I like having the video and audio combo, so I can change between driving and watching at my desk. Thank you Stacy for troubleshooting the videos!

2024-05-26 17:01:59 +0000 UTCIt's weird to be relating so heavily to Josh's childhood and avoidant practices at school and college. The depression, isolation, loneliness and desperation. I'm glad that I'm at least very empathetic and compassionate...

2024-05-24 23:05:56 +0000 UTCI am remembering my abusive highschool boyfriend yelling at me for getting a slightly better part in a play than him. He dropped out of drama class and never acted again. He never came to any of my shows after that either.
