Rebecca Schuman really loves her baby. She publishes one endless post after another about that very fortunate, happy little girl. For those who were not this loved as children, catching a glimpse of Rebecca’s worship of her baby does not come without a pang. There is nothing more destructive to a human psyche than the knowledge that one’s parents did not love one coming to the surface, and Rebecca’s paeans to her baby have the potential to force people to face this deeply hidden truth.
When that happens, a human psyche finds itself on the verge of destruction. So people react violently in order to counteract the horrible threat. They revert to the persona of a wounded child and try to remove the danger, screaming as hard as they can to drown out the memory of never having even a shred of the riches that Rebecca’s daughter enjoys.
“You are ugly!” they vociferate with the voices of rejected, scared little children. “Go kill yourself! I will tell on you! You are hurting me! Go away!”
I hope nobody thinks I’m trying to excuse these fuckers. It is a – no, wait – it is THE responsibility of every adult to deal with our psychological garbage and avoid spreading it around other people’s lives. It is nobody’s duty to self-censor in order to spare you from freaking out over the shit you are too irresponsible, immature, and stupid to take care of. A person who feels pain and reacts by persecuting others and sending them hateful messages has no excuse.
These people’s punishment, though, lies inside themselves. The untreated wound festers, hurts, poisons their entire lives. Rebecca will go on adoring her baby and enjoying her existence. And the former unloved children will live their entire lives beating back the painful truth and wasting all of their life energy on this impossible task.

Hate to disappoint you, but Clarissa and I are friends and I don’t mind when she throws shade on me, because I LOVE HER and will forever. Plus I’m pretty sure this post was throwing more shade on the people telling me to kill myself.

I don’t even know what this Eve person was trying to say. But I’m very grossed out by people who have nothing better to do than pile on you when it’s obviously a completely ridiculous thing. There are so many abused, beaten, miserable kids. Worry about them if you really care but leave alone an obviously loved and super fortunate kid.

But but but I used a SWEAR WORD. Or a swear gesture at any rate…The worst was that all these people were telling me to die on the same day that child washed up on the beach.

Wow, I never realized it was on that day. And here I thought nothing could make their reaction any more disgusting.
These are people with such thwarted, useless lives. Stupid, meaningless creatures. I feel for their children.

That’s why I don’t post my daughter’s pictures online – people are so crazy and hateful that I just couldn’t stomach the sick comments. It’s disturbing.
