One time I read a book about what its like to write in Hollywood, it was called The Billion Dollar Kiss The author wrote for Dawsons Creek and they were having trouble making the show go after like the second season, the producers kept wanting to have the main guy James Van der Veek make out with Michelle Williams who later went on to be inn Manchester by the Sea.


The writers wanted Dawson and Joey (Katie Holmes) to get together, which they eventually did and the kiss they had led to great interest in the story and eventually Dawson's Creek became a billion dollar franchise. But the writers had to pretty much strike against Michelle Williams and the producers. I'll never forget one guy standing up and yelling (about Michelle Williams) MAN FUCK THAT CHIPMUNKED CHEEK CUNT!


All that to say Kendras got some major chipmunk cheeks

I have a fantasy that Kendra will go rouge and leave the cult and write a book similar to Deborah Feldman’s Unorthodox . Similar to Deborah, Kendra’s basically a teen mom, invested in the cult from both sides (raised in it and married into it), and appears seemingly happy about it. Something about her smiles and giddy personality makes me think she’s just gonna crack one day.

They have general and more specific versions. I highly HIGHLY recommend reading it.

Borderline is one of the most common personality disorders diagnosed. However, it is often misdiagnosed in place of bipolar. With bipolar, manic depression can present in similar ways as borderline.

However, there are key differences between the two diagnoses. Borderline is characterized through the person's relationships with other people. There is often this perceived sense of abandonment (typically traced back to some kind of childhood trauma) with relationships that a client with borderline will go to extreme measures to prevent. There is a great book called I Hate You, Don't Leave Me that does a great job of describing that intense need to keep relationships. Clients with borderline are typically some of the hardest clients to keep safe because they will often use self-harm or suicidal gestures in order to meet that need for relationships (non-strengths based wording would be that a client with borderline is really good at manipulation to keep people around).

Bipolar disorder is all about the energy that a person has. Mania comes across as intense levels of energy, and then the depression side looks like the stereotypical major depressive disorder. Bipolar disorder is often rooted in genetics rather than a result of trauma/separation. Bipolar disorder symptoms can mostly be managed successfully through medications, but borderline personality disorder is treated with a form of therapy called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy that teaches skills on how to maintain healthy relationships and be at peace with yourself.

***If anybody here watches the show Shameless (US version) on Netflix, Shameless is an amazing tv show to depict mental health needs. >!Ian in the show is a very classic example of bipolar, presenting with high levels of energy in some seasons and then falling into deep depression in other seasons. In season 8, Cassidy (Carl's girlfriend) is a PERFECT example of borderline personality disorder.!<

What's going on with JB's hair in this pic? It looks like one of those things you wipe your muddy boots on when you come in from gardening.

It was actually this picture book. The description makes it sound super fundie but we're Catholic so I don't even know where he would've found it

Partial coloring book, mostly devotional

I think it’s Doing Life With Your Adult Children

It has a chapter titled failure to launch, and from the preview I saw is super preachy

Here ya go.

• "Daddy, I Do" is a documentary that came out in 2010 about purity balls & purity culture.
  
  
• There's a 2008 episode of the British news TV series Cutting Edge called "The Virgin Daughters" about these same issues.
  
  
• "Give Me Sex, Jesus" is another documentary that someone mentioned here recently about the Purity Movement and abstinence-only education, fully streamable for free on Vimeo!
  
  
• "Virgin Tales" (trailer only) is yet another documentary about purity culture, this one from 2012. The only place I've been able to find to watch it is through borrowing the DVD from my local library -- sadly, nowhere to stream it.
  
  
• Lastly, "The Purity Myth" (trailer only) is a short documentary based on Jessica Valenti's book, "The Purity Myth: How America's Obsession with Virginity Is Hurting Young Women". (If you really want a laugh, the very first person featured in the trailer talking about how she "doesn't believe in sex before marriage" is none other than Miley Cyrus!) Unfortunately, the only place I've been able to find to watch it is here, and it costs $50 just to rent!
