Author Jenny Mollen is Facing Backlash Over a picture she posted of her, hugging her son and captioned with:
“Your eldest son will be the most toxic guy you ever date.”

Critics say it's far to inappropriate, and is a bad look.
Defenders say it's a mom hugging her child and it's not a big deal.

Her statement is: “It’s like because I’m getting separated, because I’m not protected by the institution of marriage, I’m suddenly like a different kind of target in what I’m posting. Like this is absolutely jaw-dropping. A photo of me hugging my 12-year-old child is getting ridiculed,”
