A love fest. I adored it. And then, you know, I got to her. Man. So, I went back up and re-read your beautiful words and I stopped after reading Simon's. I shall now have a blissful day, better because I visited here. And, as a final aside, might I just point out that the verification word was CACA. Just like what a troll has to offer.

And this Dawn person seems to get off on upsetting you so ignore her comments please. Now, regarding your original post, I thought it was brilliant. I even read it out loud to my husband who is bipolar. At 70, he has learned to live with it but could certainly identify. Thank you for sharing your life and beautiful writing with us.

I've been going through personal stuff and had not read the blog in a few posts, and to come back to all this going on...I feel like throwing a big, impervious blanket of love over your house to keep the trolls at bay. You are a truly amazing woman, Jenn. I've been following the blog (as you know) for a while now, and have come to regard you with affection equal to what I give my best friends. I wish you so much love. Wow.

It's like they're incapable of holding more than one thought in their head at a time: that people could be excellent partners but, uh, high-maintenance in certain ways, or mentally ill but decent parents. Jenn, the only thing worse than listening to them must be *being* them. And only they are stuck with that.

He might be a good potential match. We do IM. 2) Funny how worked up we get when it comes to expressing what we think we might need or want in a partner, no? We let our daughters watch Disney princess movies where Prince Charming is the goal in life. If you're offended by my words, call it residual hope and Prince Charming Poisoning. Oy: I was just trying to say: hey, it's messy, it's complicated, I can't even pretend it's not complicated in this life of mine. Hey, my daughters come first. My brain's pretty wack. So be kind, be thoughtful. And, hey, what are you made of? Did Sheryl Crow get this much flak for writing "Strong Enough"? Yee-haw, cowgirls and cowboys!

My own issues are a slightly different set than your own, but I do have that same feeling - that on paper, my hurdles may appear significant. I wish there were a way that we could all write an entry like your own, and hand it out to those we are dating - maybe not on the first date, but early on, so that both people would have a good idea of just what it is they're getting into. (i.e. the person who has no list at all, or a very short one - "I'm great, but you may be intimidated by my awesomeness. The end." Big red flag. ;)) I'd rather find someone who can give me a laundry list similar to my own (or your own) so that we can mutually decide that yes, this is exactly what I want.

BUT, if he can't get past these things, he needs to take a hike. That's all. He doesn't need a PhD. is therapy. He just needs to love her and cherish her and her children. That's not too much to ask. And how can you eve ask if she can consider the needs of someone other than herself!!!??? This whole thing is to spare the guy time and effort if he can't get past this stuff. And she's making sure he's cool with her putting her daughters in front of her own life!!! Didn't you read?? She thinks of others all the time. Why do you think she writes half this stuff and shares and gets trampled by neanderthals like yourself and Dawn? (and let's not forget Dirty Sanchez). To help others who have this disease! You are completely clueless! Does she even have the "mental space" to consider other's needs? That's absurd. This is enough Jenn bashing. This is her personal blog, not the Globe. Support is the name of the game here. To see someone clawing her way through, and pouring her soul out for us, and to see that spat upon and lashed out at is just enough! Don't spew if you don't know what you're talking about. Go back and re read this entry. You'll see that she's got the "mental space" to think about her daughter's needs and the man in question. You say you weren't trying to "hurt or provoke", but it seems that you didn't have the mental space to see that your comment very well could hurt. It certainly provoked me!
