WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER CALL YOUR KIDS FAT | AND WHY THIS REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE SAID

I know a guy who witnessed his ex-girlfriend call her own son and daughter "fat" on numerous occasions. This is the same woman who would always complain about how her own mom called her "fat" when she was young, and how it fucked with her head. So why does she turn around and behave as her toxic mother did towards her own son and daughter? It makes no sense. One time, my buddy took a trip to the bay area with his ex-gf and her daughter.

"INTRO" by THE YOUNG ROMANTICS

From the band: "The album was inspired by Collier's own first year of marriage. "My wife was given three months to live after a damaged nerve caused gastrointestinal paralysis," he says. "She was essentially starving to death. I felt alone as I took care of her and watched her suffer. On drives alone, I just wished there was some kind of music I could blast that could help me feel something. I was so numb. I quickly learned that there's not a lot of music out there for widowers. So I wrote some." 
Fortunately, his wife made a remarkable recovery, and the rest of the album was written to process a complicated, tangled web of emotions. "I want this music to provide catharsis and comfort to those spouses who lose their marriage and find themselves in a caregiver role. It's not the romantic, happy life you envisioned. There can be a lot of grief and anger because of that – and then guilt over feeling sad and angry. I want those people to know they're not alone.""
