Level 3 · 2 weeks agocalling it just an 'entanglement' to dodge accountability is wild to me. That WAS a relationship. Minimizing it doesn't make the reality of it disappear.

Level 4 · 2 weeks agoWill sat across from Jada while she explained the entanglement live on Facebook. Bro had the look of a man who just found a receipt he wasn't supposed to find.

Level 3 · 2 weeks agoCalling it just a 'codependency story' lets Jada off too easy. She was a grown woman who knew exactly what she was doing with a 22 year old sick kid. That's not healing, that's taking.
