  • Propaganda no ty

    Love the show but not listening to Lynn talk about murdering her unborn baby and justify her making stupid decisions like unprotected sex, pull out method, blame him for control, and etc. Abortion is certainly a tool for women in desperate situations but as a form of birth control so you can get your ho on, no. Grow up. Disgusting.

  • Emma

    So frustrated by this episode - you didn’t break up with a psycho with a gun because you didn’t want to be alone at Christmas?? I mean, this isn’t 1975. I almost can believe she had zero sense of self preservation. Not sure I can bear to listen to stories like this. Omg. First sign - get. out.
