I will forever wonder what Cal's wedding would have been like with the spuds around. What would have happened if Kirby or her family or- God forbid- Cal himself had stood up to Gwen and refused to make the day all about the potatoes or refuse to hold a shit goblin for photos while in a multi-thousand dollar dress. Or if they're so down the fundie rabbit hole they would have actually gave in and let another thing of Cals be centered around the girls. I know Gwen's post about it would have focused 100% on the potatoes. Actually, they probably still will. "Cal is getting married but boo hoo my goblins are dead and we all miss them." Maybe Cal, Kirby and Kirby's family need to do to Gwen what Russell Greers family did- not tell her until right before and give the condition that she can only come if she doesn't talk about the gremlins.

I can’t remember when I first discovered Gwen’s Insta but it was a long, long time ago. And at the time, I totally took what she said on face value - about their systems being too, too delicate for even Baby Tylenol (let’s not even get into the anti-seizure meds they could have had, or the splints and moulded wheelchairs that could have addressed their grossly misshapen spines and joints). It was actually this thread that made me realise what a liar Gwen was.

Eschewing medicine was always the most monstrous thing, to me. Imagine denying your children even the most basic pain relief for their entire lives. I’m afraid I’m not as optimistic as some of you, believing those girls didn’t have the capacity to feel pain. Look at how many photos and videos there are of Lola in particular, with her face twisted in misery. Look at those chicken pox photos and tell me that Lola isn’t suffering.
 
As others have said, I've been expecting this for the past six weeks or so. Gwen posting fewer and fewer pics, and what pics there were showing a waxy, vacant doll no longer bleating, or rooting, or most telling, clenching her hands. I miss a day and here it is. Final curtain on the worlds saddest puppet show.

I share the prevailing sentiment that if Claire and Lola felt any pain, it's a good thing that's at an end. At best, any glint of awareness would have been lost in a whirling kaleidoscope of misfired neurons. A mother worthy of sympathy would have a grasp on the reality of the situation and not have made a career of pretending otherwise when it suited her.

Instead, here's Gwen, making this all about her, and in that I'm betting she's only getting started. I'm sure by her lights, she thinks she's done a wonderful job. No expense or efforts (usually of others) was spared if the thing was useless, such as p.t. or the eye controlled nonsense, or the fancy walkers, or the hot tub, or the cannabis oil.... But a feeding tube for Lola? Out of the question.

Lola need never have suffered, and among so many unforgivable wrongs I've read about, the involvement of Cal (at the age of eight I believe) in the decision whether to terminate or roll the dice really bothered me. They already knew they were getting another potato, and Gwen made it sound like Cal had the deciding vote at an age when he should have known none of it was going on. I don't guess she'd have been above blaming him for any and all of the explosive shitting fiasco of the next decade and a bit. Cal will have absorbed his share of the blame. And that grovelling letter...

Relieved that Lola, like Claire, is now free, and hoping that Cal makes his escape. 💕
 
Sleep well, Lola, and Claire too. May your pain be at an end.

Cal should in all honesty get a vasectomy ASAP. I’m not sure he can actually be successfully tested for a mutation that rare, but in his circumstances rolling the dice is completely unethical. Adopt or use a donor, but don’t run that risk having seen how your sisters were forced to live.
 
"13-year old Lola Grace Hartley, who, along with her late sister, Claire, helped fight to establish a law that will allow those needing CBD oil to treat pain that was resistant to traditional medicines, passed away early Saturday morning, after courageously fighting multiple illnesses over the past several months. "

Way to twist a story.

They helped in the same way a door stopper or a novelty paperweight helps. By simply existing as a solid mass, Mother dearest could use one of them to prop open the door on balmy summer nights and the other to stop all those sweet, sweet pity bucks from blowing away.

Am I the only one who is WTFing over Gwen claiming PTSD over the spuds' deaths? Two heavily disabled children (one whose disability was known in utero) is not the same as being "exposed to: death, threatened death, actual or threatened serious injury, or actual or threatened sexual violence." (DSM-5).

Grief? Absolutely. Complex Bereavement? Sure, why not. An Adjustment Disorder? Maybe. PTSD? Lol no.

F to Lola. Soar high, you American Eagle.

PTSD is the hot new shortcut buzzword for a government subsidised service animal that all the cool instagram attention whores are getting then posting wildly unlikely stories about their abilities every 45 minutes. She can get it a fancy jacket off etsy and let everyone know within a ten mile radius that she's speshul and hurtin inside.
 
Good for her.
People will put down their animals to keep them from suffering from pain they themselves cannot choose or understand, yet these two "human" beings were denied that for the longest time. It's been said countless times but god how selfish was it to keep the potato goblins alive to use as barely living, yet shitting and drooling halloween props.
Godspeed Lola, the bulging eyes on your potato head and twisted little goblin body terrified my monkey brain but you didn't deserve the life your mother forced you to have.
 
Ugh, God fucking dammit.
I was doing some light reading before bed on a different cow and saw the banner "Both Hartley Hooligans Are Dead"
and thought
"Oh, Hooligans, like gang related troublemakers. Maybe a couple of brothers with the last name Hartley finally got what they deserved"
Clicked the banner and got this shitshow. Those poor girls. I don't know what comes after all of this, but for their sake I pray that there is a heaven because they suffered long enough and deserve it.
I hate humanity a little more knowing that their mother may never get her comeuppance.
 
Finally neither of those children are suffering anymore. Existence was pain to them Jerry. I hope now they focus on their son. Big fat F with cheese on it.

So.. is Gwen supposed to get a job now after 19 years? Or is she just hoping Cal has monster-making baby batter too?


Nah, lemme guess, she’ll start the “Claire and Lola foundation”. Spend her days printing up #HartleyStrong wristbands.
#PotatoPower
