Is there an answer to the lying, manipulative child?
07/11/2021 Duração: 01h14minSome people will lash out and rebel when they feel like they aren't being heard, or they're holding something back from the past.

Email Grab Bag 4 - Rising toleration of bad behavior, from victim to victor, porn ruining the relationship
