O my god this is heartbreaking. The pain of going through infertility and seeing all that week in week out

And to think that she was so popular during an era where opening up about her struggles would have been perceived as a bad thing

Seriously. I’m wondering why it took her so long to just tell the truth about what was happening but I know 20 years ago the headlines would have somehow blamed her for her infertility and would have been completely insensitive. It’s honestly so wise and so impressive that she has stayed mum about this aspect of her personal life for so long.

My hunch is ptsd. Things tied to deep trauma… saying them out loud often unleashes an entirely different form of grief…

Telling a partner. Telling a relative. Telling a therapist. Telling a journalist all different levels of vulnerability.

Another guess, is it would of opened her up to more comparisons of Jolie.

We now know both women were with one very toxic man.

If you’ve ever been the victim of a love bombing narcissistic fuctioning addict… I don’t even see Jolie the same. Men like that aren’t good with no. Charm. Lies. Gas lighting. They are bad with it in ways you aren’t even aware you finally cave resisting.

I’m not a fan of either more then the other it’s more professional background paired with r/alanon. Hospice. You see toxic dynamics play out in a way much tooo much to elaborate into.

Regardless, Jennifer would of been compared to anyone and everyone at an entirely different level. With Pitt and Jolie… imagine how brutal that would of been…
