Good Lord above! When I first read your post I thought you wrote the early YEARS of the pandemic! And I actually paused for a moment to try and remember what the heck month it is!
We really need to go back to doubles, the triple martinis are making me silly!
Or maybe you should replace one of those Manhattans with a glass of Chardonnay.
Just saying.

Did anyone catch when she said she’s talked to other divorcees in her area? . -

.Bipolar here. I wouldn't pretend to diagnosis another person. Not gonna lie, hurt by the comparison.
I really wish that people would cool it with the diagnostic labels. Not only are the majority off-base (I am qualified to say that) but it's messed up and stigmatizing to equate not liking someone with their having a psychiatric disorder.
I dont think anyone has said or implied they dislike Jen for any disorder/additional need she may or may not have.
My daughter has aspergers, at no point do I feel she is being stigmatised because people, including myself, see some of those same traits in Jen.
People trying to label, or indeed labelling Jen with a condition, is them trying to make sense of her behaviour, to understand why she may behave in the way that she does, and not that she is just toxic to the core.
What some of people with additional needs here do, is confuse any additional needs Jen may have with her rotten personality, and feel that her behaviour/character also applies to them.
It does not, my daughter may still struggle with her additional need at 31, but she is not a selfish, spoilt, attention seeking narcissistic cow.. -

She means her Certified Divorced Specialist. She doesn’t have friends, much less divorced ones

Now that the papers are signed, and there just remains the formality of a five minute hearing, does anyone else think Don has dusted off his Thesaurus and is searching for synonyms for ‘randy’, to punch up his Tinder profile?

Let’s cool it with the diagnosing/not diagnosing discussion please. If you have an issue with something someone has posted take it to PM or the Let’s Talk It Out thread. . -

Oh I forgot to say something. Those labels are BEYOND UGLY. Gross. . -

While I despise him and hope no one gives him the time of day when he tries to hook up and/or date, I also can’t wait for him to settle into a relationship so Jen can really see how badly Glennon destroyed her. I think she believed she would move on long before Don ever would. Tinder was probably a big wake up call. And I think Utah was the final blow of Donald being Gonald forever.. -

This may have been posited many threads ago, but it just occurred to me.
Perhaps Don is one of those fellows whose kink is being financially dominated. Hence the having to ‘teach Jen to spend’.
If this has been discussed prior, excuse the redundancy, I am always the last one on any train. 😆. -

I've been a member here for years and I don't comment. Just want to say that my mother is just like Jen. She's a friendless, jobless, depressed, narcissist. No amount of family intervention will help these people. They don't want to get better; they want you to be as eternally miserable as they are. Nothing makes them happy because their brains are incapable of feeling happy. THEY DON'T WANT YOUR SUGGESTIONS. THEY DON'T WANT YOUR LOGIC. You exist solely to feed their constant need for attention that is never satiated.
Jen is in for a lifetime of despair. There is no magical medication to fix these people. They are utterly broken. Until we have the medical science that can carve out and replace the messed up parts of their brains, this is how is how it will be. All I can say is good luck to those kids. It does not get better or easier and God forbid you let your guard down around people like my mom and Jen. It sucks.. -

Dear Jen,
Yes, we all go thru tough times. We all have our challenges, whether we are "extraordinarily privileged" or - gasp! - make $9 an hour.
The difference is, no one else thinks it's a good idea to vomit up all their feels in front of a camera, then spend an hour or two editing the video before uploading it to a public website available almost anywhere in the world. At some point during this process, fully functioning adults would be compelled to examine their behavior and at the very least, attempt to anticipate any and all consequences of their actions.
Jen, were you ever inclined to re-think your choice here, knowing your ex-husband, his family, his future love interest, your (improbable) future love interest, and eventually, your own children and their friends will have access to your most unhinged, self-absorbed, detached-from-reality moments?
Perhaps this is news to you, but you should be aware that no one else gets to take a hiatus from 'how they earn their living' because they need to 'process the processing’. During life’s inevitable rough patches, most don't expect, much less demand, more Me Time™ on top of the nearly 24/7 Me Time™ they've enjoyed their entire adult life. Oh, and from what I understand, actual single mamas rarely, if ever, get to indulge in extended and 'much-needed breaks' from their children.
As a pathologically self-absorbed, baby-woman do you have a single clue that stable, rational, mature women not only can't relate to your public whine-fest but that you are, in fact, making us feel really great about ourselves and how we handle our own issues?
With this in mind, it's important that I take this time to THANK YOU! Thank you, Jen, for all the hope (and giggles) you give me each and every Friday. Thank you for shining a light on how well I manage my life, sometimes even under the most trying of circumstances. I'm eternally grateful. You're the best, Jen!
Love,
An Interested (but not in the way you think) Viewer.
PS - Jen hon - Single mamas on a budget don’t buy giant boxes of cereal knowing full well they will sit on the shelf until they expire and get tossed in the trash next to their kid's plates. Just sayin'.. -

I went back and rewatched. It's definitely a vacation. She wants to show it. And she doesn't want to feel guilty about it.
"I'm talking myself into taking a step back for a period of time because I am not feeling great and it's showing in how I am managing social media which is what I do for a living.
I'm thinking, I need to take some time. I need to take some time quite frankly. I'm probably going to be doing that soon. I need a little chunk of time to just process things by myself, emotionally. And be outside. And not be responsible for anybody for a minute and just take care of myself.
I'm coming to understand how important it is to carve out specific, dedicated self-care time every once in awhile specially when I'm getting to this level of not feeling great. I think that's coming up for me soon. I need a little bit of a retreat. I feel like that's really important to me right now.
I think I'm taking a full week off of all social media even personal comsumption.
Maybe I need to both, a retreat and a social-media break at the same time. And just take care of myself and in sharing that, hoping that encourages you to take care of yourself in the way that you need right and the way that you can.
I realize that I am so lucky to have the time and space and resources to be able to do those types of things. But I also don't want to feel bad that I"m going to do them just because I can! And I want to encourage you to do the things for yourself that help heal you anyway you can. You have to work with your situation, work with what you've got. It isn't selfish, it's YOUR life. I serve my loved ones better when I serve myself.". -
.Oh I forgot to say something. Those labels are BEYOND UGLY. Gross.
Brought back memories for me though. When I was a Little kid, my father had one of these label makers. His was red. I soooo wanted to test it but was never allowed, because the tape for it was „too expensive to play“...
In retrospect: I just realized that my strange attachment to office supplies seems to have started then.

Well, honestly, if Jen is calling her vacation a retreat, or whatever, it makes no difference to me. I will be thrilled to watch something other than the insides of her kitchen cabinets, and the endless yoga adjacent flailing. .
