Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

SHEESH. Def wanted to get away. Being a parent is rough, especially if you don't want it. Still fucked up what she did, making them wonder what happened for decades and decades and won't even face them to deal with the fallout. Fuck.

I'm wondering what the husband was like.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 26 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

He could be the guy that raised three kids while the mom dipped. And here you are just asking questions. There's definitely nothing wrong with the parent who abdicated their responsibility no - must be that husband that's bad.

The guy before me said what she did "was pretty fucked up"; I'm saying there are multiple sides to this story, and we know pretty much none of them. I'm saying that she stayed with him for 20+ years and there's must've been a reason she left when she did.

So is the side where she abandons her 14 years old daughter with an abusive father the good one? Never the 8 years old boy.

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They are suggesting that the husband could have been abusive, and that was the motivation to disappear

[–] sepi@piefed.social 9 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

I know what they are suggesting. I'm calling it out. We've an article describing how one parent abdicated their responsibility and folks go - without additional info, as one reply says - immediately into blaming the husband.

Yeah, a good question to ask. But no way to really know how their relationship is based off of just this article.
