Why is it okay for women to shirk their duties and abort a child because they're not ready, and no one can shame or question their immoral motives, but men get completely lambasted and chastised for deciding to step out of a parenting role? Why do women's choice to abort get praised and men choice to abort financially get demonized?

So yea they can claim he takes care of his own children but that is not the message he gives, because Tate preaches obsession and authority and not compassion..so even the whole "protect women, family, children" is one of hero complex ideology..which is very toxic.

      This is what I thought, too. Valentina was so trusting as she grew up in a loyal family with no experience of such manipulation, narcissism and misogynism. After watching True Crime on a daily basis, I've come across many cases of young, trusting women being killed by narcissistic misogynists lately. Just yesterday, I watched a video about a woman of the same age being killed by a narc monster. Both women had the same thing in common- they grew up in a loving and trusting family and fell into manipulative, controlling, depraved men. Both were ambitious, hard-working, kind, highly sociable and widely loved. With narcissism and misogynism proliferating, it seems there has to be some syllabus at schools on how to spot red flags of your partner being manipulative, controlling and borderline abusive. It could save so many people from abusive relationships that might end up deadly. And it does not only affect women, men can also fall into manipulations.

    Former barista here, there’s a rumor that if you want to wake up, opt for a light roast. They claim that the more the beans roast, the more caffeine cooks out as well. If you measure by volume, light roast has more caffeine as they’re denser but the difference is negligible by weight. The more you know.

    Plain and simple folks, No man/woman will let another man/woman get close to them unless they want them to. And, if they do, there's nothing you can do to stop it. The best thing to do is walk away and find someone that wants only you. Getting jealous or possessive will only hurt the situation. Just walk away.

It has to be mentally and emotionally exhausting for you. The reason I say this is because this one this week really got to me. This guy is a special kind of monster. The way he treated his first wife and what he did to her plus leaving her and the children (and one special needs child at that!) destitute then moving on? Stomaching all that is too much to handle but then to research Valentina… she sounded like an incredible young woman who had the world at her feet. A loving family, a kind and generous heart, creative nature, energy and remarkable beauty made her a memorable woman. For him to take her away and for you to find the details out is a lot to process too. So thanks Adrian, I really appreciate everything you do because I’m sure these cases affect your life. ❤

    I have to say; having been to Colombia once and speaking Spanish since I was seven (I’m 37 now, lol), your description in the intro about the country was great. I’ve seen some interviews with Colombian celebrities-like Maluma & Sofia Vergara-and they’ve all mentioned how depressingly predictable it is when interviewers (or just people) mention their country’s history with cocaine, suppression of the people, violence, & the drug wars of the past. As if that’s all the country is known for? How ignorant. There are so many famous musicians, both modern & old school, plus thousands of plant species and varied ecosystems. From the tropical rainforests of Chocó on the Pacific coast to the high Andes mountains, the Caribbean north coast, Barranquilla… it’s beautiful!! Many of our most popular trending houseplants grow wild there as well!
    But the animals are extremely diverse in Colombia, from tiny poison arrow frogs to mountain lions, jaguars & ocelots. Monkeys, sloths, tapirs, otters, anteaters, deer, snakes… it’s endless. Plus, it’s consistently the #1 country for total species of birds yet it’s hardly the biggest nation on the planet! It’s also #2 for biodiversity, as in total number of plant & animal species-only beaten by Brazil at #1. A wondrous country for sure.. So your description was nice! 🇨🇴 ❤

    People don't realize the more you try to control someone the more they're gonna go away from you the more they're gonna wanna do that even when a girl does it to a guy
    no matter how attractive she is the more the guy's going to want to go away and resist it If you fail you can't live without someone or without knowing they every waking movement that means it's time for you to split up because you can't rely on someone else for your every waking moment of happiness

    Lots of red flags with this guy - abandoned his wife and children including the son who had cancer, chasing younger women when he’s only in his 30s suggests a controlling person as does the sugar baby sites, the private investigator thing, the advice to the soon to be married man, following Andrew Tate - all these things show his views of others and women in particular. Poor Valentina, my heart goes out to her family

    My heart goes out to her family. 💔 John's former family has been through a lot of trauma, too. 😥 He is toxic.
    Yes, she cheated on him and was probably looking at $$, but little did she know what he was capable of. What a horrible way to go. 💔

    in a sad, sick way. perhaps abandoning his kids to their good parent was the kindest thing his animal could do for them, he's clearly not cut out for a Father of the Year award, and at least this way she was spared endless custody and child support [that he was never going to pay anyway] hearings which can be brutal and take a toll on your nerves, time and peace
