Bravo!!! πŸ‘πŸΌ A harrowing story sooooo well told. I’m so proud of you, my dear friend, Lauren.

This is Kirsten. Yes, that* Kirsten πŸ‘‹πŸΌ Everyone donate to the GoFundMe if you can! Every little bit helps! β€œTrashley” continues on now in her role as a deadbeat mom. Not surprised by this at all, but there are actual real children involved and Cecilia is a WONDERFUL mom who literally had the rug pulled out from beneath her. She didn’t deserve any of this.

While this crazy story is filled with some hilarious writing I can say it wasn’t β€œfunny” at the time. It was and is heartbreaking that so many people have been hurt by Trashley. And what I love most about this story is how Lauren, Cecelia and Michelle banded together and found healing and even friendship, together.

And to honor the power of friendships everywhere, I'm heading over to the Gofundme site. But not before I use my final, "I told you so!” to my talented and beautiful friend, Lauren.

β€œI knew I was right! Trashley was full of sh*t!"

Cue my music - I wanna dance!

I'm not sure what I'm to do with my time now that I won't keep checking Substack to see if maybe my notifications had been turned off as I await the next chapter.

Wow. Sad it’s over but this was a perfect ending. Just donated to the gofundme. Fuck Trashley 4 ever.

Donated. Trashley is a breathtakingly awful person. There are a million reasons I never wanted my own kids, but not far down on the list is having the relationship not work out and being forced to co parent. I have too many friends going through their own horror stories with that.

Trashley and Cecilia are officially divorced, yes? So there’s no chance Trashley can get her grubby little paws on the GoFundMe?

What a ride! I appreciate all the detail you put into this series. Trashley is a terrible person. Of all the people to mess with, she chose someone who loves to document and is great with details. Bad move on her part.

Also, what an ending! A better twist than the Newhart finale.

Finished! Found Trashley on Tik Tok and donated to Cecelia. Thanks for the wild ride :)

Trashley is a total POS for all that she has done, and continues to do. She is lucky you did not press charges, and I hope that luck runs out one day soon. Thank you for sharing your story, I can’t wait for the podcast!

Still laughing about the Trader Joe’s cashier tho. Guy is probably in therapy right now and will never ask another person if they found every ok πŸ˜‰

Perfect ending???? I don’t want it to be over, but this feels wrapped up ❀️ I am disgusted, though not surprised, that Trashley uses autism as a means of garnering sympathy. Ugh.

Whew, that was a lot.

I’m sorry this happened to you. My heart breaks for Cecelia. I’m glad you guys have each other!

(Ps. Incredible ending.)

thought I was an internet super sleuth finding the tok-of-trash when I should have known someone here was already on it. Anyway... I have seen the toks and she really just makes my skin crawl. Reminds me of of a narcissist in-law to a "T." Funny how her highest viewed is *waves hands* related to all of this, trash indeed.

I know, it's hard to watch, knowing what she's truly like and how she's faking all of it. I just saw your contribution to Cecelia, thank you for that.

I am so surprised there aren't a bunch of comments calling her out. Is she deleting them? I wanted to test the theory but I know what she's capable of. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

She controls the comments. I think she gets to approve them before they’re posted
