@sar_marantoinet@ThendoRalph Same, I'm glad she's sharing, helps me to know that I'm not the only one with a mother who behaves in the same ways. These are truly narcissistic mothers who target certain children, usually the good ones and they make their lives miserable.
MEET KIMBERLY.
If you’re using “11-1” to argue the lone juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial must have been wrong, watch this.
Kimberly served on a statutory rape jury years ago.
Eleven jurors believed the defendant was guilty.
One refused.
After hours of deliberating, the eleven eventually changed their votes to NOT GUILTY.
Did the evidence change?
No.
Kimberly says they were tired. They wanted to go home. They didn’t like the teenage victim.
A man they believed was guilty walked free.
She still considers it one of the biggest regrets of her life.
THAT is why I won’t dismiss the Clancy holdout simply because eleven people disagreed with him.
Eleven people can be wrong.
Eleven people can cave.
Eleven people can just want the deliberations to end.
The entire purpose of requiring unanimity is that the twelfth juror is allowed to say:
No. You haven’t convinced me.
And refuse to move.
I believed that if I loved hard enough people would eventually choose accountability over excuses.
I was WRONG.
The moment I stopped accepting manipulation, stopped explaining myself, and started choosing peace, everything changed. I became impossible to control.

This is extremely concerning
“The National Institutes of Health launched the largest study of childhood brain development ever run in the entire country. The study tracked 11,878 kids across 21 sites. Each child was placed in MRI machines and allowed to scroll and watch screens, and just let the brain stuff do the brain stuff. And the results even shocked the researchers
Kids with 7 or more hours of daily screen time showed premature thinning of the cortex. That's the brain's outer layer that runs the thinking, the memory, the language, including the putamen, which is the reward center, and the prefrontal cortex, which handles impulse control”
Analyses using larger samples linked higher screen time to:
- Smaller overall cortical volume and thinner cortex in regions tied to attention, working memory, language and executive function including prefrontal areas involved in impulse control
- Reduced volume in the putamen, which is the part of the striatum reward system, with evidence that links screen time and cognitive scores. Things like executive function, processing speed and language
- Associations with slightly higher ADHD-like symptoms over time in studies
