I’m confused as I thought the book is about ‘toddlers, teens and everything in between’ yet so far all that I have read has been me, I, we (assuming her and J) and trolls. If I didn’t know who she is then I would be expecting the book to be some kind of ‘how to’ parenting guide when in fact the reality is that it’s more of a how not to parent your children and stolen children.
She can’t help but continue to slag off the kids’ other parents but why? It doesn’t help the kids and the other parents have heard it all before (I wish they had the backing to take her to court and bring her down a peg or two) No matter what the other parent has done it’s her and Js job to protect the kids from the past, to show them what a healthy relationship is and whilst they may never forget things that are in the past it is unhealthy for them to have to relive it every time R needs to make a few quid.
My eldest who is an adult knows that her dad and I aren’t together any more and split when she was young but she doesn’t know why and doesn’t need to know and even if she asked I would tell her the bare minimum as it’s not her past it’s mine and she shouldn’t have to try to make sense of any of it.
They are the most dysfunctional family I have ever seen and it’s all her fault. I hope one day when the kids are grown up that at least one of them will tell their story when they realise what a mess her and J made of them.

It’s a sad day when you’re so short on friends that an anonymous “troll hunter” is your new bestie

I think it’s someone she knows, someone in her circle, maybe Josh. I’m sure the same has been said by others previously
