Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I know I would have done the same thing. I would have hurt that man. Badly.

I just want to go help my brother, but I don't know how.

I think a lot of people would have done the same thing. It seems like a perfectly reasonable response to me. I'm so sorry. You should go home if you think you can drive.

Will the charges stick, do you think?

Yeah, seriously. I don't know how someone could be expected to respond in another way. it's his kid, for fuck's sake.

no, I mean, home to Boston.

I'm sorry. If there is anything I can do from here, let me know.

Will the charges stick, do you think?

I hope not.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh Jeez, Allyson.

Even if the charges do stick, it's very unlikely he'll get more than a token slap on the wrist. Public opinion is so far on his side, and for excellent reason. I'm so sorry.

Meanwhile, you take care of yourself. If you need to work to help keep occupied, then stay and work. If you can't, go home and call your family.

I'm so sorry.

God DAMN, Allyson.

....and I think I love your brother. I would have done nothing different.

Oh Allyson, that's terrible. I totally understand that rage.

Kat, what did the school police say when you reported the thug-kids?
