JILLIAN MICHAELS: Why I had to flee cesspit California... after a sickening crime inside my home opened my eyes
I was at home in Malibu watching television with my young son and my now ex-partner when a man broke into our house. The 30-year-old career criminal snatched my purse off the kitchen table and stole my car from the garage. When police arrested him, they found duct tape and a video camera in the trunk. I'll always be haunted by the thought that this person had other plans.

Met arrested woman after Facebook posts about ex-partner
A woman was arrested by police, who sent a riot van to her door at dawn, after she posted about her ex-partner, a serving Metropolitan police officer, on Facebook. Sarah* had been alerted by a friend to a post about her former partner that had been made in a local Facebook group linked to 'Are we dating the same guy?'. The group is part of a global network of similar Facebook pages used by women to seek information about their partners, and warn others of 'red flags' from men they have dated. Sarah commented on the original post, saying she and her ex-boyfriend were together for almost five years, 'and then he cheated on me and gaslit me saying I was wrong'. She then made her own post in the group, warning other women about her ex-partner. 'I was basically just saying that I just want to warn other women,' she said. Through the group, she said, she found out more information about her ex-partner's behaviour while they were together, and sent him two messages. In one she called him a 'pussy', and then blocked his number. 'I messaged him and just basically said, the audacity of you to blame me for the breakdown of our relationship,' she said. 'I thought nothing of it until 13 May, when I got a knock on my door, well, banging on my door, at 4.45 in the morning.' Sarah opened the door to three police officers, who told her they were there to arrest her for alleged harassment. 'I knew instantly that it was him,' she said. 'They took me in, they took my phone, they took my computer, they put me in the back of a van,' she added. She spent about 12 hours in custody, where she was questioned about the messages and Facebook posts. During questioning, Sarah said, she did not dispute any of the evidence police officers put before her. 'I've got nothing to hide. I'm not ashamed of what I've done. I'm doing it to protect women, and if I can just save one woman going through what I've gone through, then I've done something,' she said. She said police asked her if it was true she had called her ex 'a pussy'. 'I was like, yeah, you can't arrest me for calling someone a pussy, that's ridiculous.' After questioning, she was released without charge. The duty solicitor, Sarah said, told her that in his opinion, 'this wouldn't have happened if [her ex] wasn't a police officer'. After her release, a police officer came to Sarah's house and served her with civil court papers, with her ex-partner seeking a non-molestation order. The court rejected his application, saying that expressing concern about 'the applicant's abuse of power in respect of the respondent being arrested at 4.45am by three police officers and a riot van attending the respondent's property, [and] the applicant's request for a detective to personally serve the respondent'. Dismissing his application, court papers said it 'related to one Facebook post on 6 May 2024 and no other allegations had been raised by the applicant in support of a non-molestation order'. Sarah made a formal complaint, claiming her former partner had abused his position as a police officer by seeking her arrest, but this was rejected after nine months. As part of the investigation, her ex-partner said he had reported her behaviour because she posted details of the police station he worked at. In a letter, an inspector told Sarah that 'the service provided [was] acceptable', and 'I do not consider unsatisfactory performance procedures are appropriate in respect of any officers.' 'Financially, if I had all the money in the world, I would push and push and push to take this further with lawyers behind our backs,' Sarah said. 'But unfortunately, we don't have the financing to do that.' She said the experience had 'changed her whole life', and that she sometimes had panic attacks when she saw police officers in the street. 'I'm struggling to go out and just enjoy myself for the fear that he's going to be there and he's going to think that I'm following him,' she added. A Metropolitan police spokesperson said: 'In May 2024 officers arrested a 39-year-old woman on suspicion of harassment. After an interview under caution, she was released without further action. 'Subsequently, allegations were made relating to an abuse of power by a serving Met officer. These were formally investigated and found to be unsubstantiated. 'The action taken in this case was considered to be necessary, proportionate and compliant with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act as officers need to conduct prompt and effective investigations.' *Name has been changed.

Woman Wonders If She's a 'Bad' Mom for Not Bringing Her Son to Soccer Practice That Interferes with Her Schedule
The mother said her ex, who is the one that signed their son up for the sport, isn't helping A woman is wondering if she is a "bad" mom because of her inability to bring her young son to his soccer practice that falls on her busiest day of the week. In a post on the U.K.-based forum Mumsnet, the mother explained that she and her ex-partner share three children — including a son who is "a really good" athlete. According to the woman, her ex signed their son up for the sport, but he hasn't been proactive in bringing the child to the trainings himself, instead handing over the responsibility. The mother, who detailed her family has "a busy schedule" due to work and her other kids similarly being involved in athletics, also has a baby with another man, who she said "works away," leaving her "home all weekdays alone." "I'm so proud of [my son], BUT it now turns out that training is the one day in the week I have the three children (we share half-and-half), so I'm expected to take a baby [and] a 6-year-old to training every week that's half [an] hour away," the woman wrote in her post.

Further explaining that she has "no family to help," but her ex-partner "has lots" to offer assistance, the mother added that the soccer games "are at least 4 to 5 hours away." She said "the cost" is another factor that makes being a sports mom difficult for her. "I just can't afford to do this, as I'll have to stay in hotels, etc. ... [and] I'll probably have to take the baby sometimes," the woman wrote. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! The mother then said that she knows making these sacrifices is "in the interest" of her son, but she "can't logically see how I can do it." "But I feel like [my son] will make out I'm a bad mother if I don't," she continued, adding: "I'm just exhausted with all the other games and things they play every week as it is." In the comments section of the post, many other Mumset users sided with the woman, believing that her ex should play a more active role in their son's soccer habits — especially since he was the one to get the child involved with the sport in the first place. "He signed him up, he makes it happen. Just lean back and don't try to make this happen, it's too much for you. You don't need to fix this," one user wrote. Another said, "Ex signed your son up to an activity without asking you for help in managing the activity on the one day ex knows ex can not take him?

Others, meanwhile, asked the woman if there was any way to find a middle ground between herself and her ex-partner, so they could share the responsibilities and let their son continue taking part in the sport. "Can you not flex the arrangements a bit, so your ex takes him?" one commenter asked, as another posed, "Can ex's family take him and you swap days so he has custody that day?"

I live with my ex and his new wife. It makes coparenting our kid easier, and we save money on rent in San Francisco.
The cost of living in San Francisco is high. To combat it, I live with my ex, his wife, and our kid. There are some challenges, but we help each other coparent, and it's a financial lifesaver. It's also made me rethink how I look at family. When people hear I live with my ex, his wife, and our child, their first reaction is usually something like, "Wait, what? Is this some kind of sitcom — or cult?" Spoiler alert: It's not. It's just modern parenting in an insanely expensive city like San Francisco, where rent skyrockets faster than a toddler's energy levels after a nap. Let me set the scene. A few months ago, after we'd both experienced one too many rent hikes, my ex and I had a talk. We realized that maintaining separate apartments while also co-parenting a tiny human was not sustainable unless we wanted to eat ramen noodles for the rest of our lives. That's when his wife joined the conversation. Surprisingly, she was the one who first floated the idea: "Why don't we just live together?" And just like that, the blueprint for our unconventional household was born. So here we are: three adults, one 5-year-old, and a two-bedroom apartment we've somehow made work for the past nine months. It's a home full of chaos, compromises, and yes, a surprising number of poop emojis used in our group chats. Living together post-breakup isn't exactly the plot of a rom-com, though I'm sure there's a market for something like that. It started with a lot of awkward moments, like deciding who would do the dishes without turning it into a showdown in front of a child. Somehow, I always end up with the mystery leftovers, maybe because I'm the only one who doesn't gag at the sight (or smell) of week-old pasta. Before we moved in together, my ex and I weren't exactly best friends, but we'd found a respectful rhythm texting about our kid, showing up for day care pickups, and just generally keeping things polite. Co-habiting felt daunting, but necessary. And gradually, we figured it out. Now, everything's on the table, literally and emotionally. We created a shared calendar to divide up pickups, grocery runs, and chores. Mondays and Thursdays are my dish days. He takes out the trash and does the laundry. Our third housemate covers groceries and makes lunches for our kid. When conflicts pop up (and they do), we have a rule: no letting things fester. We talk it out on "porch check-ins," a weekly 20-minute chat outside, away from our daughter, just to vent or recalibrate. It's like running a tiny domestic government, but the policies revolve around nap schedules and snack preferences instead of tax codes. Despite the growing pains, living together like this has its perks. Three adults mean there's always someone available for last-minute day care runs or meltdowns. There's backup when one of us needs to scream into a pillow or just take a coffee break. It's not easy, but it works. Because we've learned that when you can't ghost each other, you grow up and communicate. Financially, it's a lifesaver. Splitting rent, utilities, and groceries means we're not bleeding money on separate apartments. And honestly, in San Francisco, where a decent two-bedroom can run $3,500 a month, and I make about $4,200 after taxes, this arrangement isn't just clever, it's essential. But beyond logistics and money, this living situation has reshaped how I think about family and support. We're not your traditional nuclear family, and sometimes that feels like a superpower rather than a weakness. Sure, it's messy. There are moments when I miss the old "just me and my kid" dynamic. But seeing my ex, his wife, and me all working toward the same goal of raising a happy, healthy kid is incredibly powerful. It's a reminder that family isn't just about blood or legal ties. Sometimes it's about showing up, communicating honestly, and figuring things out together. And here's the kicker: my child gets it. She's 5, and she knows the rhythm of three nights with me, three with her dad, one shared dinner all together. We don't trade off in parking lots; we live in the same apartment, just in separate rooms. Her toys stay put, her bedtime routine doesn't change, and if she forgets something, it's just down the hall. It's not perfect, but it's peaceful, and she never feels like she's being split in two. The other day, she proudly told a friend, "My family's weird, but it's cool." That felt like the ultimate seal of approval. Living with my ex and his wife has taught me that co-parenting isn't a competition. It's a collaboration. It's messy, funny, and full of poop emojis, but it works. And honestly, isn't that what parenting is all about? So no, this isn't a cult or a sitcom. It's just modern life. Three adults, one 5-year-old, and a whole lot of love, laughter, and compromises.
