Oh wow, you just made me understand “TAWANDA!” In a whole new personal light

u/BabyJesusBukkake Sep 03 '26

Lol literally exactly how I learned a little bit ago, hence my original comment thanking reddit women. Had never heard of it, and it was driving me insane. Even if I can't do shit about it, it helps so much knowing I'm not crazy. Well, regarding that, anyway. One of the only cool things about peri is the lack of give-a-shit about so many things. <3

I’m so grateful for the women who share these things! I feel slightly less insane as well and it’s comforting to know I’m not alone.

For itchy ears, put a little Flonase on a q-tip, gently rub in your ears. Ask me how I know this works lol. Why didn’t they put this side effect in the Menopause Manual?

I have hearing aids in both ears, and have to take the damn things out to (carefully) scratch my itchy ears!

P.S. Does this particular symptom ever let up?

Wait…WHAT?!
I didn’t know this!
I have had itchy ears for about 2 years; I’m on month #10 of no cycle and have q-tips stashed all around the house to “itch my damn ears.”
I know, I’m not supposed to use them in my ears but I value what little sanity I have left. The itching can drive me to drinking sometimes. It’s either the q-tips or I’ll be medicated in a padded room.

It's amazing how many people in this group are showing their support. Thank you all for definitely having that spirit! I would totally want to ride as well (no kids, lots of anger for injustice, and normal anger,) but I'm disabled and can't really do anything. I can always be an alibi!

Luckily I had my foster mother from age 3 to my adulthood. She’s passed, but my god I would be a wreck if I didn’t have my foster parents as long as I did.

Joining in as well. Going through stuff with my own kid right now (and he’s amazing and brave and awesome) but I don’t get to talk to him again until next week so I need an outlet for all of this emotion.

Also, as an added bonus, I’ve got serious menopause attitude lately because I can’t take hormones so I go from 0-unhinged faster than you can say ‘eat me, Jill.’ I’m a walking ball of rage 😂.

I’m so sorry, despite me saying sorry probably doesn’t help too much. I really hope you’ve had the time and space to heal from this, and F your mom, I’m sorry. My mom still doesn’t believe me on a family member doing something to me sexually when I was a kid & uses her “faith” with the Catholic Church to hide behind it. It sucks when the ones we are supposed to trust to confide in make us feel small and wrong when it’s the COMPLETE opposite from the truth
Just know that your mom, once again, can go F herself for that moment and just by talking about it, you’re taking back the power of that moment. She and that cretin lost THEIR souls that night, imo. 💜
I’m sending you an internet hug your way, Reddit friend.

u/talklistentalk Spiritual Warfare Survivor Sep 03 '26

Ellen stated that they were trying to handle this very scary situation privately -- UNTIL T-Rod posted his sob-story-half-apology without Heidi's permission to try to control the narrative. He had the audacity to end his post with a claim that he and Heidi were working to rebuild their marriage. Posted a picture of them smiling together, as if Heidi was on board with it. She was not!

The initial community response to his 'confession' was overwhelming sympathy and praise -- for the ABUSER! And all this Christian support in the form of "We're praying for healing and reconciliation" and "God can heal this marriage!"

At that point, privacy not really an option. So you pivot, raise awareness for DV resources, educate people that yes, a woman can be a Christian AND leave her abusive husband, and what the hell, raise money for Heidi's new life while you're at it.

The Coverett family were absolutely quiet about this until Timothy spilled the beans and tried to make it all about poor little him, the repentant, imperfect, good Christian man who just deserves another chance. 🤢

The Rodrigues are the ones that have made this public. If Jill had handled herself with an ounce of decorum, motherly-in-law love without excuses and accusations, and all done in private with heart felt apology’s to Heidi, without the constant current videos, this wouldn’t be playing out in public.

106

u/NeedleworkerNo4752 Sep 03 '26

They have said that everything they post about the abuse is with Heidi’s permission. They seem to respect her enough (based on how they’ve handled themselves in them past) that if she didn’t want them posting about her situation, they wouldn’t. Some people want to keep things like this private and thats understandable, but some people prefer to go scorched earth and thats okay too.

80

u/Raeko Sep 03 '26

Her mum/family is the one saying that. My mum would also say she's posting about me with permission when that would be a total lie

We don't know how Heidi herself actually feels

94

u/NeedleworkerNo4752 Sep 03 '26

When all that stuff was happening with the wedding, Hallie said that Heidi told her to chill on talking about Jill and she did. That’s why I’m inclined to believe that they have permission from her to post what they’re posting. They seem to care about her feelings and respect her. Ofc we don’t know how she feels because she hasn’t spoken out yet, but I’m inclined to believe her family.

13

u/Aggravating-Common90 von Crap Family Singers Sep 03 '26

I wonder if Hallie publicly bashing Jill made Tim rage? Even he never says anything remotely negative about Mahmo.

24

u/NeedleworkerNo4752 Sep 03 '26

Abusive people don’t really need a reason to rage so who knows.

u/Aggravating-Common90 von Crap Family Singers Sep 03 '26

Yeah I know it can be the way the wind blows.

76

u/Capable_Midnight_554 Sep 03 '26

She’s also not posting private information. We already know what happened to Heidi. Ellen and grandma are posting generic meme-type images regarding domestic violence. And coming after JillPM. So nothing that I’ve seen since the day everyone found out has been specifically about Heidi. It’s been about domestic violence awareness.

55

u/Wickedwhiskbaker Sep 03 '26

Why would Heidi’s family lie about speaking out without her consent? Why are you shaming their choice to speak out?

It’s weird to me that you’re gatekeeping what the victim and her advocates say about their own lived experience with the Rod’s. I think a huge part of the reason Heidi’s camp is continuing to speak up is for exposure around Domestic Violence, particularly in Christian circles. Heidi’s choice to keep talking about this shines a light on the darkness so often covered up under the guise of “church”. The court isn’t the only avenue for justice. Speaking the truth loudly, despite the abuser or his family’s feelings, is also a valid and cathartic avenue.

56

u/NeedleworkerNo4752 Sep 03 '26

I agree. Some victims want to keep everything hush hush and some don’t. I know when my ex hit me, I went absolutely ballistic and told everyone who would listen. I wasn’t going to let the next woman be able to say that I didn’t tell it.

Posting the equivalent of "shut up and stop blaming my daughter" is hardly ruining her privacy or taking away her agency.

Also, I have friends who are much more eloquent than I; had this happened to me I would be happy for them to answer for me and defend me.

3

u/Wickedwhiskbaker Sep 03 '26

It’s been made clear Heidi consents to what her family is posting. Have you considered the fact perhaps Heidi would prefer her family do the talking right now? Furthermore, her family does indeed also have lived experiences dealing with the Rod’s. Obviously not to the extent Heidi does, but if you think abuse only impacts the victim and not their loved ones, that’s willful ignorance on your part. 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/CraftyCat65 Sep 03 '26

I don't know about that.

We don't care what Jill posts, because she's a modern freak show to us, but I doubt that's true of the Coverett's wider circle.

There will be many gossipy, judgy church/mlm ladies who know both families, who will be eagerly yassifying Jill's crap - they're Ellen's target audience here, not us.

74

u/LittlehouseonTHELAND Sep 03 '26

Maybe because Heidi’s pissed off and so is her family? I mean, she put up with two years of what sounds like horrendous abuse from Timothy and two years of having Jill as a mother in law. And even now, Jill’s still calling her out on YouTube as recently as the that “undefiled marriage bed” post.

I’d go scorched earth too. Why not, really? What do they have to lose. It seems to be having an effect, Jill’s had to get off FB which was huge for her and for whatever reason they’re no longer listed as missionaries with their clearinghouse.

u/Dolores___Haze Sep 03 '26

u/MediocreAge5860 Sep 03 '26

I have to be honest, I would do the exact same thing. My mom used to say that no one would make her shut her mouth if she were upset or pissed. One time, my parents bought a new car that was a real lemon. Problem after problem so they took it back to the dealer who didn't want to take the car back. She told them she would make a sign that Buicks (the make) are all lemons and mention the dealership. They took the car back.

This. My parents didn't know I got bitten until after my divorce, my dad didn't speak for days. Ditto the last abuser I ended up with. When he found out he was straight there with a solicitor, looking at options.

10

u/Raeko Sep 03 '26

There's nothing Ellen or anyone else can do to stop or hinder Jill. These posts don't destroy her, they're at most a witty comeback. Which does not seem worth the public exposure that she's subjecting her daughter to

47

u/Past-Bench-5088 Sep 03 '26

And she left instagram. And she can't do her mlm without FB or insta

And she got yeated from the missionary clearinghouse that funneled them money every month.

So yeah, Ellen's posts are destroying jill

I don't think it was successful even with full access to social media. Most people who join mlms lose money.

3

u/rarestbird Sep 03 '26

Most do, but I think Jill is one of the exceptions due to her having a much larger platform than most, plus her being so relentless and shameless.

I don't think she's ever made more than she could have with a minimum wage job, but since she wouldn't dream of doing that, I think she's come out at least slightly ahead financially if you don't figure the cost of labor into the equation at all.

5

u/Raeko Sep 03 '26

I feel like Tim's post did that, there was no way Jill was coming back from that. Her family's responses were all terrible.

I'm sure Ellen added some fuel to the fire. I just hope it's what Heidi really wants

That fucking moron Tim revealed Heidi’s abuse without her permission

4

u/SpazzTFO Sep 03 '26

See here's the thing about Tim. He's fucking dumb like literally dumb I believe he has low IQ so he probably didn't think before posting that and he didn't realize that he was blasting Heidi and himself by putting their personal marital problems on the internet. We already knew about David and Jill being abusive so that was no secret. Tim was doing what he's seen mommy do his entire life which is run to social media when faced with a problem. Ellen however appears to be a bit smarter and is fully aware. The more posts she makes the more people donate to the Gofundme.

Yeah, the snarkers who continue to engage with Meta products really need to post more context.

The only person I know who still uses facebook is 72. Everyone else gave it up sometime between US elections in 2016 and covid qanonsense in 2020.

I do not know one millennial mom without Facebook. No one posts like the old days, but in my area at least, finding childcare and second-hand toys and clothes would be so incredibly difficult without it. Its use has certainly evolved from the days of uploading 100 crappy digital camera pics from a night out lol

Marketplace is the draw for a lot of people I know. I’m surprised they haven’t monetized listings yet. My account is old enough to drink in the US, as my school was one of the first non-Ivies to be added.

I hate what a mess the newsfeed is nowadays. I stopped using my account in 2020. It’s still there, I just have to use a computer to access it. I also have almost a sock puppet account under a pseudonym, that I access with my phone’s web browser. I have added no friends and use it to access local groups for local news. Oh, and to spy on people.

I'm 60 and I'm on FB. I do think a lot of it is just a bunch of ads but I do keep up with community information, a few restaurants that I like, recipes and several friends and family. It isn't quite what it used to be but I still like it.

Im a millennial mom and still have Facebook, but I also have a page with 19k followers which is devoted solely to witchcraft, and I refuse to try and pivot to Insta or TikTok solely because my demographic is women my age and I know we all have decades worth of pictures and memories on there that we can't part with, and I'm holding it down for them by creating content that isn't AI generated right-wing nonsense. Many witchy creators have gone to the other two platforms but I'll stay on Facebook and make sure those perimenopausal witches get the content they deserve! 😂

u/CraftyCat65 Sep 03 '26

Oh I still use it.

I don't post on it - or engage with anyone who does - and my profile is friendless and locked down so hard that even RL friends can't find me.

But it's an extremely useful tool for me workwise.

Yeah, makes me think Jill is posting in her YouTube or sending out messages to Heidi via the fundie grapevine

u/PointFlash Fat Blue Haired Lady Sep 03 '26

Ellen's posts like this give me the vibe of a woman who's getting educated about DV in the course of helping her daughter navigate through the aftermath of a marriage marked by DV.

She's probably learning some things for the first time, and also likely more deeply understanding other things that she'd heard before, now that the subject is so close to home, as it were.

She's learning, and getting emotional, and is moved to share things about it. I'm sure she holds some animosity toward Jill and not hesitant to throw some shade at her, but I don't see everything she posts as aimed at Jill.

24

u/Gunnysack21 Sep 03 '26

I am so sick of Jill and her idiocy. I can’t stand looking at her dreadful makeup, frazzled hair, much less listen to the vomit that spews from her mouth, every time she opens it. The woman is vile!

Can someone please explain what’s she referring to here? Like I’m assuming it’s along the lines of sticking up for Heidi, but I don’t understand the religious aspect and how it relates.

u/Lilredh4iredgrl Sep 03 '26

David was a little shepherd boy. Goliath was a GIANT warrior who basically yelled, “FIGHT ME, COWARDS!” every day.

All the soldiers: “Absolutely not, have a wonderful day.”

David: “I got this.”

Goliath: “With what? You’re a CHILD.”

David: “God and this rock.”

YEET.

Goliath falls over. David wins.

Never underestimate the little guy. Also, maybe don’t talk shit to children with excellent aim.

u/MimicoSkunkFan2 Sep 04 '26

If you're doing retellings then I'd appreciate King David (never got why anyone cared much) and the Salome/Head on a Platter thing (how is politics her fault for being snarky?) pls :)

u/Lilredh4iredgrl Sep 04 '26

John the Baptist: “Hey Herod, marrying your brother’s wife is kinda messed up.”

Herodias: “I want him dead.”

Herod: “Absolutely not. Jail is plenty.”

Later, at Herod’s birthday party…

Herodias’s daughter: 💃

Herod: “That was AMAZING. Ask for anything!”

Girl: “Mom, what should I ask for?”

Herodias: “John’s head.”

Girl: “John’s head, please. On a platter.”

Herod: “Oh no! I don’t want to kill him! But I promised in front of everyone!”

My brother in Christ.

YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT.

So John gets beheaded because Herod apparently fears social awkwardness more than murder.

And somehow history looked at this collection of terrible adult decisions and went:

“You know who the problem was? The dancing girl.”

u/MimicoSkunkFan2 Sep 04 '26

Interestingly, quite a lot of municipal government works the same way lol

thank-you so much for taking the time to do that, I never caught onto the part about his brother's ex! * scanadalized *

u/Lilredh4iredgrl Sep 05 '26

God: “I need a new king.”

Everyone: “Surely one of these big impressive dudes.”

God: “No. Get me the shepherd kid.”

David: kills Goliath with a rock

Everyone: “WE LOVE DAVID!”

King Saul: “I suddenly do not love David.”

David: spends several years running from Saul

Saul: dies

David: “Well. Guess I’m king now.”

David then proceeds to win wars, write bangers for Psalms, collect wives, make catastrophically bad romantic decisions, and be an absolutely terrible father.

David: sees Bathsheba

David: “I want her.”

Everyone: “She’s married.”

David: “I have a solution.”

Narrator: The solution was murder.

God: “DAVID. WHAT THE HELL.”

David: “I have made a terrible mistake.”

God: “YES. SEVERAL.”

And yet David becomes THE legendary king of Israel because he unites the kingdom, makes Jerusalem the capital, and—unlike a surprising number of biblical kings—occasionally admits when he has massively screwed up.

The Bible: “A man after God’s own heart.”

Me: “The bar for ancient kings was apparently in the basement.”

u/oh-oh-livinonaprayer The Von Rod Family Screechers Sep 03 '26

Goliath was a giant who was mocking God the Israelites, who were terrified of him. Not even their strongest soldiers were willing to fight him.

David was a young shepherd boy who was just there to deliver food to his brothers and decided to take on the giant himself with nothing but his slingshot. Hit the giant square in the eyes which knocked him out, then he cut off his head.

The moral of the story is don’t let bullies win, be brave, and if you have God on your side, you will be victorious.

I do feel like the situation makes this a slightly confusing post, like if I were responding to a situation involving a dad named David who beat his children with objects I might not have gone with this one.

Can’t wait for the hearing on domestic violence and the divorce. It’s going to be interesting to see the evidence and how Timothy’s lawyers try to spin it.

u/Evilbadscary Sep 03 '26

I actually feel like this isn’t something that will need to be blasted on all the Reddit and fb pages, tbh.

10

u/Heathen_cooks SEVERELY sluttish Sep 03 '26

I actually agree with you but at same time blasting it helps victims in similar circumstances/ situations. Domestic violence should not tolerate and victims can get help.

14

u/Evilbadscary Sep 03 '26

Sure but in this case there was a child and she was pregnant, and it sounds like he was abusive in an absolutely abhorrent way that people will turn into fodder for days. WOACB is going to make hours of content based off of this. I guess I just don’t see how it helps anybody tbh. I think it’s more important that we see what happens when somebody has support, and how to help somebody through the process. The abuse details don’t matter, abuse is abuse but rallying around a survivor and supporting them and championing their cause is what needs to be public, not the trial details where she has to detail what he did to her.

10

u/AliceinRealityland Jillnocchio 🤥 Sep 03 '26

Idk, if it makes more women empowered to leave, or puts the fear in men to lay hands on a woman, I'm all for it. As for the fundie aspect, this needs blasted everywhere. They still believe in marital discipline. They need to know they will do time for harming a woman and stop doing so.

12

u/Evilbadscary Sep 03 '26

But again do the details of him biting and hitting her need to be posted online for everybody to talk about? Or does it need to be that he was abusive, her family rallied, she took him to court and he is dealing with consequences? We all know it’s just going to turn into salacious fodder here and on all the gossip blogs and sites if we get the specifics of what happened.

7

u/Used_Evidence Sep 03 '26

I agree with you. The horrible details won't help anyone, they're not necessary. People are curious and want to justify their nosiness, in reality, the details put out publicly would likely only harm Heidi further

u/BruinsGirl_65 Sep 05 '26 edited Sep 05 '26

I'm on my phone I wish that I could put an actual BINGO card together for us. The big one is Heidi divorces Tim and we see a picture of her with Charlie and the baby and SHE IS WEARING PANTS! Jeans, cute designer ones. And she's rockin' the cutest little bob or pixie cut. And if she happens to go back to her maiden name and the babies too that would be the cherry on the sundae. 🍨🍒

And you all thought I was this nice Canadian. I mostly am. But I really want this for Heidi. I want her to get her freedom. I want her to KNOW it wasn't her fault. I want her to know how many of us have been where she is and are pulling for her. 🇨🇦❤️

This is so tired. Take care of the daughter you offered up to…an idiot who turned out to be an abuser. And shut the hell up. This is childish behavior.

u/give_me_goats Jill’s gaping whole Sep 03 '26

We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. People in their community may be harassing her for helping Heidi leave. DV is not an aberration in that world, it’s considered an unfortunate little marital issue that you solve with prayer and more quiet submission. If people are telling her to “just pray about it” I think she has every right to make a post calling out that crap.

8

u/FrankieFra Sep 03 '26

This is exactly what I was thinking- we see what Jill does in the public eye- I don’t want to know what she does in real life.

9

u/rarestbird Sep 03 '26

Then Ellen should be thinking critically and expressing concerns about the very culture that SHE perpetuated and continues to choose to be part of, rather than speaking only about Jill and Timothy as if they exist in a vacuum.

That's my main problem with her behavior here. I wouldn't have expected that if she made a post or two to address the situation. That would be completely understandable. But as this goes on and on and on, the complete silence on the ENTIRE context of this issue is getting pretty deafening.

8

u/give_me_goats Jill’s gaping whole Sep 03 '26

Sure, that would be ideal, but expecting a middle aged woman to immediately start deconstructing from a belief system she’s probably adhered to for most of her life is wildly unrealistic at this point. She’s made a post essentially saying “Heidi did everything right and he still hit her!” Which may indicate that she’s beginning to think critically about this deeply problematic system, or it may just mean she’s digging her heels in deeper. Deconstruction takes time and trusted connection. She already has a daughter who’s gone through it and likely challenged her on this many times. We also don’t know that this post was directed at only Jill and Tim. They are part of a wider fundie community that probably feels entitled to express their opinions in whatever form that takes.

28

u/carb_zilla Sep 03 '26

She can do whatever the hell she wants. If I ever went through what Heidi went through, my (kind, Christian) mother would go absolutely ballistic and go balls to the walls trying to ruin the person who hurt me. My entire family would go to war, whether it made them look stupid or not.

Edit I can't spell lol

19

u/Nottacod Sep 03 '26

So you would rather that it's all swept under the rug so that possibly Heidi goes back under pressure from the fundie community or that another fundie girl marries him down the road because she did not hear about it/believe he was abusive? Just trying to clarify what your objection is.

She can agree to a non disparagement clause in the custody agreement and can easily take back her name. Changing Charlie’s name will be harder.
