Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 03, 2025

She also needs therapy.

Never underestimate the lack of power of someone who has self esteem issues. Why else would she ever put up with the likes of Leon for more than 5 seconds? She doesn’t think she’s worth much so doesn’t deserve any better.

The sob has never been there or paid child support, so he’s not the father of Max. Just dropped off some DNA and took off. Just because he’s a blood relative does not mean he’s good for Max. Kick his @$$ out the door.

Maybe she should get a lumpyer couch.

I think Wally is ‘hinting’ that he wants to be something more in Joan’s life ! ! !

That sweater does not flatter. Wally’s got quite a paunch going on there.

Keep at it Wally, you can do it!

Absolutely no sympathy for her.

Joan, WAKE UP!!!

He is a catch. Along comes Susan (?) and suddenly……

Thank God Joan has good people around her; otherwise, she’d surely be doomed.

Or, “Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know.”

There is a ring of truth here. Many people stay in bad situations because they fear the risks of change.
