Stephy replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'A Father Figure'"If you did decide to cut him out of the picture, you wouldn't be doing it to be vindictive. No one could seriously fault you for trying to protect your son."

Stephy replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'A Father Figure'"Wow.
Pretty fucked up how trying to protect your child from an abusive adult is seen as "childish" to you. If you're honestly concerned about the welfare of the child and not about who's right and who's wrong, you might want…"

Stephy replied to Unseen's discussion 'What to do with guilty Jodi Arias and other psychopaths'"Actually, to add to this, and I have a feeling this sentiment isn't going to be popular:
