Best friend dating a ex quote

I’m from the uk so I would prefer someone with a similar time zone just so that we can talk but I am definitely open to any time zone. I’ve been feeling quite lonely as the friends I have aren’t the best. I want a long term friendship not something that will just end within 5 minutes although I’m not the best at conversations but I do try and I am trying to improve. I enjoy music (many kinds), games and reading. I’m not sure what else to put here but feel free to message :)

I thought the ending was over all pretty nice
Hole was defeated and the characters all went back to living their best lives
Caiman and nikaido are running the shop
Sorcerers aren’t attacking humans (most are dead)
The en family has continued on (I do wish shin and noi started dating or something that was my biggest ship in the series)
I think the story wrapped up pretty well. I guess there could be more story if Q hayashida wanted to since I guess hope still exist in some small capacity, and is with baby chidaruma. A sequel would be interesting and enjoyable but it’s not needed. Kinda wonder what dokuga and tetsujo are up to in the hole.
Normally I don’t like stories where it feels like there’s more to tell at the end but I’m pretty okay with dorohedoros ending.
How we got to that ending I think it was pretty good. I don’t think it felt rushed and the whole final arc with the central department store was pretty amazing IMO.
Some lingering thoughts and questions about the series:
What the hell is kikurage? It has horns and a tail but it’s not like any other devil we see. The wiki says it’s a magic user, but it can’t be just a sorcerer. Idk maybe it was explained in a volume extra.
Fujita being so weak and yet still being a central member of the en family is really interesting to me. I don’t know how he got there because up until him turning invisible he didn’t have much use. I’m sure just about every lower employee of en would be stronger than him. Even in the first chapter he was able to just walk up talk to en about matsamura dying. Maybe he was a lower level and he just was able to weasel his way close to en because of the “lizard man of the hole” situation that he was kinda leading. But en still knew him by name. I ramble but this is really interesting to me.
Is En the leader of the sorcerers? Is there any kind of government? There was prison and the guards were not in en family unform. The prison was also directly connected to hell and devils went there to kill people. Maybe devils run the sorcerer world with chidaruma being the leader.

This special cat became best friends with a Betta Fish!

Am I wrong for reporting this Dr to the Medical Board?
Basically what happened is I went to the ED for concerns of Serotonin Toxicity. Or Serotonin Syndrome (SS). I was taking an adhd stimulant and just started an ssri. And more recently just upped my ssri dose. Upon upping my dose, I began shaking, sweating, no appetite, didn’t sleep for 3 days, was having moments of disorientation and confusion. Spouse also said my pupils were dilated. As the days went on my shaking got worse. My muscles, specifically my legs hurt so badly. I wanted to sleep. But I couldn’t physically stop shaking to sleep. And by day 2, my eyes were shaking side to side as well. My prescribing doc had told me about SS. She said “you won’t have to guess if you’re experiencing SS cause it will truly be so awful, you won’t have to wonder. Before going to the ED I looked up SS on UpToDate (the medical version of Google that doctors actually use) to make sure I wasn’t being over dramatic, that it wasn’t something I could handle at home, and just make sure my symptoms even remotely matched up. And they did. They matched up perfectly. It was saying for a Serotonin Syndrome diagnosis you’d need to take at least one serotonin drug AND have one or more of the following symptoms, 1- muscle twitching or jerking without stimulation (had that), 2-Muscle Twitching when stimulated or stretched, and restlessness and excessive sweating (had all of those) 3- Rapid horizontal eye movements (yep) 4- Shaking movements a person cannot control plus exaggerated reflexes (yep) 5- a fever (did not have that)
And that SS is a clinical diagnosis. Meaning there is no bloodwork no testing to confirm you have it or that it’s ruled out. So if you get labwork and nothing is wrong like a heart attack for example, but you’re having allll the SS symptoms, and you’re taking 1 serotonin drug, then it’s SS.
So I was like well heck let me go rule it out at least cause I’m just getting worse as time goes on and the longer I take this new upped SSRI dose with my adhd stimulant. And it was symptoms from hades. It was not fun.
In the ED my bp was 160/105, heart rate was 160’s. I told them I had concerns for SS because of the meds I take and how I just upped my Prozac dose. My symptoms. Etc. keep in mind. I’m trembling and jerking uncontrollably for 3 days now, haven’t slept in 3 days either. It was horrible. Doctor comes in, I reiterate everything to him ( as quickly as I can bc my teeth are chattering from my shakes) They do labwork and a urine analysis.
While I’m waiting for my results. The staff is outside my door talking incredibly loud. They are talking about a pt a few rooms beside me. The pt name, birthday, what they received as care, the patients ailments, etc. literally everything about this pt. And how we happened to have the same doctor that night (there was multiple dr in the ED that night, we just happened to share one). I thought to myself “Gosh that’s sad. When the doctor comes in here, if he seems off or sad, I need to give him some grace because that must be really hard”
So the doctor comes in. And tell me looks like all my labwork is good, that I should just go home and get some rest and that I have 30 protein and 70 ketones in my urine so I should also drink water and eat something. I told him again, I would love to rest, but I have slept in 3 days and I can’t sleep bc of my symptoms. He then prescribes me a sleep aid and immediately walks out of the room. I was confused because he never once mentioned the SS concern? Like ever at all? Just said my labs looked good.
So the nurse comes in with my discharge paperwork. And I asked her if the doctor remembered which pt and concerns I was having. Bc I understood it was a busy night for them and mix ups can happen. But my concern for SS wasn’t mentioned. She said he definitely remembered me. That he just doesn’t know the reason for my shaking or my other symptoms and my labs look fine. I told her that’s good my labs are fine but there’s not SS labs so how are we sure we’ve ruled SS out? She rolls her eyes and huffs and leaves. She comes back with the dr and he rips open my ED room curtain and punches the light on. And he goes “Look Kid. You’re going home! You’re not in any emergency whatsoever!!” I said “that’s fine. I just want to make sure we’ve ruled SS out as..” and he cuts me off and says “Look. You’ve had a FULL work up. Your labs are fine. You being here right now isn’t going to get you the answers you want” I said “I understand my labs are fine, but there’s no such thing as Serotonin Syndrome labs, it’s an exclusion dx so how are we sure we’ve ruled it out?” And he goes “You know what. Let’s have psychiatry come take a look at you and do a psych eval for you. But. How about this? I’ll be nice about it. You can do it inpatient tonight, or outpatient since you’re leaving. Your choice” I was absolutely appalled by this tactic. But I could see it for what it was. He was probably emotional over the other pt. Or was on a power trip and hated me having questions. Or both. So I said “I’ll do it outpatient. Thanks” and I begin shakily taking my monitors off so I can waddle on out the ED best I can and go on home. As I’m taking my monitors off he goes “Nope. Stop. Something doesn’t seem right about you. Are you safe at home? You seem really emotional and off” just to give him something to get off my back I said “I’m good. Just about to get my period I guess” and he goes “Mm makes sense. Well sounds good kid!!” And leaves.
What I think is incredibly interesting is that according to the hospital they addressed my SS concerns during my ED visit. So this would now mean that SS can now be diagnosed via labwork and heart and lung sounds. And no longer being on one serotonin drug AND one Hunter Criteria. Never mind the fact I was on 2 serotonin drugs and had more than one hunter criteria. And the fact that UpToDate says “there are no labs to indicate serotonin syndrome” this is now a medical catalyst!!! A complete 180 has been found by this doctor and hospital. Truly a break through. But nonetheless, I felt the way he spoke to me was absolutely insane and aside from him not addressing my SS concern but quite literally threatening me with a psych eval because I had questions?

I asked a male friend to tell me three things they like about my personality and looks and then I asked if I can share them here. This is what he said:
Personality:
• Extremely sweet
• Super intelligent
• Really funny
Looks:
• Amazing eyes
• Lips you want to kiss
• Hair super wavy
• I think amazing body and amazing breasts
(yeah he cheated and said 4 but I’m not complaining!)
If that caught your attention then know that I want someone who is willing to take the extra mile and put in effort for building a relationship; someone who is in it for the long run. I want to start slow and get to meetups.
I seek honesty, intelligence and a good build. For the age I prefer someone 29-39 please, I found this age works best for me. I would want to meet, so I hope you enjoy the Mediterranean climate!

Names have been altered/changed
So I (24,f) was in an LDR with my ex Sam (33,m) and upfront he was a nice guy, a really sweet guy. He made me always laugh and feel loved and I would always let him know that I would cherish every single minute that we were on a call.
My reason why I had to break up with Sam, was because of 3 events that happened during our relationship that went in weird way. Atleast my friends thought it that way.
So event 1:
I was out with my mom. Went to the hairsalon and got a new haircut and afterwards went with my mom to an asian vegetarian restaurant. We met up with my Mom´s knitting friends and waited for another friend to come. She was apparently the reason why they wanted to met in the first place. That friend.... She told mom and her knitting friends in the groupchat, that they had, that she would be late.... like 15 minutes...
She was everything but 15 minutes late. She was late for an whole hour...
We ordered some appetizers and drinks and started without her. Who would have known that hell was about to break loose. My Mom´s knitting friend eventually came..... but not alone......
Her Husband to whom my Mom´s knitting friend is 17 years married to, tagged along while the knitting circle upfront told her to not let him come with her.
A lot went from there on. When I stood up to change seats, sitting besides my mom, that husband grabbed my neck in a hold like a momma cat would hold her kitten. It was a very thight grip and I couldn´t release myself from him. Mom "kindly" had to ask him to let go of me. That husband lateron did stuff like asking about my phone, what games I play, what my sex-life was, how many men I did it with and asked how much earned.
I barely answered that husband any question and if anything he smelled bad.... really bad... beyond that I would almost say that a bag of plastic trash smelled better then him. (And I certainly do not mean it in a mean way. I just cannot imagine anything worse then that smell)
Now here is the thing. I went on discord and on the toilette calling Sam. He hung up on me and said he was out with friends. I told him that it was an emergency and that I needed his emotional support. The call lasted only 10 min. He told me he is sorry but he cannot listen to me rn and that I should call him in the evening. He was out with friends.
I understood that and said okay and would call him in the evening. I messaged to my male friend Alpii (26,m) who was instantly there for me as well as Elliana (24,f) and supported me emotionally as well as virtually, to not have to talk to this husband.
Later that same day, in the evening I called Sam again and explained what happened to me. In the most really dead pan voice Sam apologized to me and said he cannot see anything wrong with what happened to me and again hung up on me.
I told my best friend Suviana (29,f) about and she was pissed off, by how he reacted. It took me and Suviana 2 weeks to make him aware that what happened to me was something where I needed him and he wasn´t there for me.
Now 2 and 3 event were in one call that we had about 3 weeks before I broke up with him.
I had my days and am clinical diagnosed with pms. I told him that my cramps would really hurt and that I would go get a warm water bottle. Sam let a bomb loose.
Sam said that the pain of a kick in the groin is similar painful as having a period and it left me stunned. I tried explaining to him that period pain is for each woman each differently painful and instantly got dismissed by him. Sam then told me how he would see "US" in the future and said while I should work in home office, take care of "our" children and stand in the kitchen all day long, something inside me just ripped.
I instantly realized thats not how I would´ve like to live in a relationship, let alone in a marriage. 3 weeks after that call I told Sam that I would want to break up with him. He was of course shocked but I told him my reasons as of why. The whole week he bombarded me with messages and even went as far as wanting to come over. He never gave me a chance to really reply to his messages and it went as far as giving him an ultimatum that I usually wouldn´t pull.
I wanted to know if IWBTA for breaking up with him because of what happened

I'm Lawrence (Larry) Kestenbaum, Washtenaw County Clerk and Register of Deeds. I'm a candidate for re-election this year. I have one opponent in the August 6th primary; there are also two candidates competing for the Republican nomination.
(I have been active on Reddit for years, mainly under my personal account -- u/old-guy-with-data )
The county clerk is the county's chief election official, records all births, deaths, and marriages, among other things. The register of deeds (a separate position in most Michigan counties) records all the land records for the county.
I was first elected in 2004, defeating my Republican predecessor. Washtenaw used to be a Republican county; I'm the first Democratic county clerk in seven decades. I was re-elected in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020.
I have accomplished many things in my time as clerk. The office is now more efficient and more transparent than ever before. We meet the growing service needs of this county with half as many employees as I had when I started.
My commitment is that every person who comes to our office be treated with courtesy and respect. Even, or especially, those who are rude, or angry, or agitated, or confused.
In March 2014, when a federal judge struck down Michigan's anti-gay-marriage amendment, for what turned out to be 24 hours, I opened the office on a Saturday to process marriage licenses for same-sex couples. Three other county clerks followed my lead, hundreds of couples were married, and the whole country got a glimpse of what marriage equality would mean to our citizens.
Before I was clerk, I was one of the pioneers of the World Wide Web. In 1996, I created the Political Graveyard web site, which made a lot of U.S. political history available online.
And, as clerk/register, I have vastly expanded online access to county records.
When I took office, all of the county's deeds and land records, on paper in bound volumes, dating back to 1824, were stored in the basement, in downtown Ann Arbor, which is at risk for a catastrophic flood. Now, all of those documents have been imaged and made available online, while the actual books have been moved to a safer location.
I have also worked with the Civil Rights Initiative at the UM Law School, and the organization Justice InDeed, to document Washtenaw County's dark history of racially restrictive covenants.
I was well prepared to be the county's chief election official. I had served as a poll worker and challenger in city and township elections, and as an attorney for candidates in recounts. Starting in the 90s, I've written and lectured on issues ranging from authenticating voters to the appropriate technology for tabulating ballots.
I have been a longtime advocate for needed changes in the election system, including no-reason absentee voting and post-election audits. I have been in the forefront of those fighting the unconstitutional 2012 law that makes it far more difficult for voters to recall their elected officials.
Conflict over elections is expected to reach a crescendo this year, particularly in the "swing state" of Michigan:

• Poll of election officials finds concerns about safety
  
• Ahead of 2024 election ... officials discuss voting changes and misinformation
  
• I'm an election law expert. Here's what I fear most in 2024
  
• Preventing U.S. election violence in 2024
  

The best defense against voter suppression and disruption is a county clerk with deep election experience.
I would appreciate your support.
--Larry Kestenbaum, Washtenaw County Clerk / Register of Deeds

Hey friends,
I'm stuck in reading rut and I need recommendations. I started 2024 on a high note with a months-long 5-star reading streak, and now I've DNF'd two books in a row (which is SUPER abnormal for me) and I'm just stuck.
Give me your best: - kitsch - the over-the-top-Mortal-Kombat-fatalities levels of violence - dark humor - complex characters who swear like a sailor - fun easter eggs - high quality writing but doesn't take itself too seriously - amazing characters. A solid plot is nice, but incredable characters are better (I worship at the alter that is Abercrombie. That kind of character work is just *chefs kiss*)
Obveously, the book recs don't have to literally check the box, but that's the general **vibe** I'm looking for.
My five-star reads of the year have been:

• The whole Expanse series (there's a little fluctuation between 3, 4 and 5 stars within the series, but overall. Amazing. Read the whole thing back-to-back)
• My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones
• Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff
• Bloody Rose by Nicholas Eames

My DNF's have been:

• Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots (I didn't find the Heros as henious as I think Walschots meant them to be...and the whole ruin their lives via math thing was kind of boring. I only made it about 1/3 of the way through)
• Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Marhrer. I should have just known better.
• Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

And I'm on the cusp of putting down How To Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix.

So…my ex traumatised me and now I don’t even want anything to do with anyone except for my parents. I ‘F20’ met him ‘M20’ when I was drunk at a party, then we got each other’s socials and started speaking the day after. When I would visit him, he would spoil me with food and other things I wanted, eventually I got into smoking because of him. I never wanted to be in a relationship with him because I didn’t find him attractive and I wanted to just focus on university. (We did have a very good friendship tho)Then all of a sudden, he said I was his gf, which shook me but for the sake of staying in contact, I said yes (worst decision of my life). Long story short, I got tired of the relationship and wanted to leave, but every time I tried breaking up with him, he would chase after me on all socials and cry ( so me being the idiotic caring person I am), I stayed with him. I was at a point where I couldn’t be around him sober because I felt so trapped and depressed and I would lash out on him, which resulted into me becoming addicted to smoking ☘️. I dealt with this for nearly 2 years until it got the point when I said I wanted to stop and become a better person. At first he would support me going to my community groups, then all of a sudden he’s tell me “why don’t you just miss it?” “You don’t need to go or listen to them” I don’t agree with them and what they say”. Friends encouraged me to leave him but being in a very toxic relationship for nearly 2 years was something I was used to and unfortunately didn’t want to let go of by that time. I eventually reached the point where I blocked him on everything, deleted social media and we didn’t speak for 6 months. One day I decided to get one of my socials back to see my before pictures, and on that day I saw him add me right when I got it back (which was weird because I thought I blocked him on there). He told me he just wanted to know if I was okay, I told him I was great and quit smoking, then boom back in contact with him again. I’ve become so numb speaking to him to the point where everything he does irritates me and I couldn’t care less about his life, and now I’m addicted to smoking AGAIN. I can’t stand him at all but every time I block him, I find it hard and want to un block him. I can’t stand him being in my life but it hurts when he’s gone. I don’t know what to do anymore so here I am ranting to a bunch of strangers 😂 any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Let me preface by saying that I have complex ptsd from all sorts of icky trigger warning type stuff. So I have what is best described as the entire set of luggage, not just a bag or 2.
In some ways I feel like I don't actually belong here in this sub.
My WH is not "technically" wayward. At least, he has emphatically denied ever actually "doing anything". Of course he was trickle truth every thing that I have learned.
What I have definitely confirmed is that roughly every year or 2 throughout our 20+ years together, he has signed up for a variety of dating/hookup sites. I have confirmed that this most recent time, he definitely was "making attempts to hook up, but everyone said no".
The other times he swears he "only looked".
I feel like I am losing my mind, because it seems like our MC is going predominantly in a "just pretend it's nothing and move on" direction, specifically because of my ptsd.
But, I have literally just found out that my spouse has been lying to me for roughly 20 years.
Am I crazy for wanting to work this out? Am I crazy for hoping we can?
Am I wrong for looking and trying to get to the bottom of it all?

I have a million bajillion flowers on my island and need most of them gone. Do people still dig up flowers for other people? I’d love if anyone would want to become best friends so you can give some of your time, I can give bells and/or NMT and/or wishlist items and you can sell or keep what you dig up. It’s mostly white lilies and colored tulips.
I also have a lot of green mums and would let you have a few!

Not your usual aitah but i need some feedback. So i (15f) have a friend (18f) lets call her maria that is in the same class as i, lets say that she isn't the sharpest tool in the box by very far. And recently she made 18 and since it she wants to make things she wanted as a child and one of the things was to get a tattoo But when i asked her what its she's gonna get she showed me a frase something like "never give up who you are" but keep in mind that English isn't one of our first languages, and i asked her ironically what it meant and she didn't knowed so i translated. (This was hours before her appointment that i was going as a plus one to keep her comfortable) And she also was going to get like a wave and a sun very like 2010 style on the arm and the frase was going on her collarbone. And so i was talking to some other girls who ended up overhearing and they were like "she is going to do a tattoo without meaning just because she can and think its pretty" And there was kinda a debate about it because its her first and its permanent obviously. And i even told her sister like put some knowledge in her head because i don't think this is the best thing and if she wants to get something at least make it meaningful not random stuff just because its pretty. And to add some extra ahe is probably going to fail the year and ahe said if she did she was going to another city and we told her like to get her drivers license because its gonna be useful if she does, she says she doesn't have money for it but by the counts 4 tattos (her sister was going to also make 2 others) =400$ And she could keep the money and use for something that could give her usefulness

So this has been the year from hell for me, and closing out my year teaching a semester long class I wasn't remotely prepared for was the cherry on top.
Every May, I give all my kids an exit ticket, with the intention of getting solid feedback on their year. What was the most challenging, what are they most proud of, where do they feel they've grown? Same stuff that would be in a reflection essay, just in smaller bites.
I told the kids that they wouldn't need to sign them—just hand em to me and I'll give you 25 points.
This is one that choked me up. The final question was “Anything else you'd like me to know?”
“Mr. Late, I heard awful stories about how hard your class was. And when I walked in your room, I expected the worst. I kept wating for the ‘awful person’ to show up…but you never did. I guess a lot of my friends confuse ‘mean’ with ‘expectations’… because the toughest thing you did was push us. You've made me a better writer… even with things I couldn't care less about. You're a dope teacher that I will always hold in high regard, and have an adamant love for. I'm glad I chose to spend my last year in your classes. Thank you.”
FFS. l legit cried. Maybe I'm just a soft touch at the end of this dumpster fire year.
So what about you? What's the best compliment a student has given you this year?

So I’ve been going through a lot and I need help. At this point I don’t know who else to ask about this. In December 2023 I told my friend of 5 years that I had a crush on her and she didn’t really give an answer at first and then when I asked her out on a date she told me that she liked me and she just wasn’t ready to date. She said she would let me know when she was. Everything was fine…perfect even and then she met a guy. She kept telling me she didn’t like him or she didn’t know and then the next thing I know she’s telling him she likes him and now they are dating. He was trying to be my friend. I didn’t feel threatened at the time so I tried because he was way older than us by like 10 years and said “omg you guys are babies” when we told him our age. This bothered me a lot and really hurt me. After I got over her not liking me I thought we could still be friends until I realized I couldn’t be around him and didn’t want to. Then she made it seem like I was forcing her to choose between me and him but in my mind she already chose. I told her I wasn’t trying to I was just hurt. I feel like he used me to get to her. Also he weirds me out for dating her. Also yeah I am jealous of him but I didn’t feel like I needed to justify that. I don’t know why her dating him has to dictate our friendship. But she started putting him over me and continues to do so. Now it seems like I meant the world to her last year and every year before. Now I mean absolutely nothing to her. I don’t know what to do anymore. I have to be the problem. Everytime I like someone it never works out and I end up alone. I get close with these girls and then I get treated like shit when I open up. I don’t know what to do anymore. Only thing I can think is I’m just not worth loving.

I (28F) have known my partner, David (29M) for 5 years now, which includes an 8-month period in which we were broken up and I was in a serious relationship with another man, Luke (30M).
Before I met Luke, my relationship with David was suffering from a ton of very textbook communication issues. I won’t go into too much detail, but here’s an example. Whenever I tried to do something nice for him, he would guilt me for trying to make him feel bad because he would not do nice things for me (he was depressed at the time so that’s why it made sense to him). Or rather than talk about our feelings in a healthy manner (I-statements), we would blame each other. It was messy and resentment grew in our relationship. I used to cry a lot.
This was exactly the time I met Luke, who is a relative of my stepmother through her late husband before she married my dad. My stepmom was renting out a portion of my dad’s and hers marital home to Luke and one night she invited me to dinner with all of them. Luke instantly drew me in. He was a child’s psychologist and since I also work with small children, we had so much in common. We had an amazing conversation that evening and I learnt he had a great insight into people. I could not put my finger on it instantly, but it felt so refreshing meeting someone like him. When I shared that I met Luke with my then boyfriend David, he accused me of cheating on him and acted extremely possessive about me which angered me because I didn’t do anything wrong.
Having Luke around was more frequent now since I am close to my stepmother. Maybe because my relationship with David was getting so bad, I projected a lot of my fantasy on Luke, unconsciously. I never meant to get emotionally close with him, and as soon as I realised I was developing feelings for another man, I ended my relationship with David. That very week, Luke asked me out and our relationship blossomed. We moved too fast. He was incredible and after 5 months of dating, we moved in together. However, he does not want kids of his own and I realised we were incompatible ultimately and we broke up amicably. I should admit that despite our incompatibility, there was a lot of genuine love in our relationship and he is going to be one of the “great loves” I have experienced in my life.
I remained single for a whole year, and David reached out. He was doing better mentally now and we went for couple’s therapy as well and are in a good place now when it comes to communicating maturely. However, he cannot seem to navigate his insecurity of how I “left him for Luke”, and he wants me to say that I regret being with Luke. As hard as it is on David, I do not regret meeting Luke. David and I were bad for each other back then and we were different people. I see that the way life lead us apart, and now together, we have grown so much. Yes, it’s true, that while being with David, I fell in love with Luke, and I do not believe in the concept of “love of my life”. David also feels insecure because I never moved in with him, but I moved in with Luke. However that’s an unfair comparison because no 2 relationships are equal.
I am committed to making my relationship with David work and I know a lot of you will want to know this, but I absolutely have no feelings for Luke now. He is a different chapter of my story and is in the past.
David is now upset and acting jealous, what should I do?
TLDR:
I've been through quite a journey with my partner, David. We had our fair share of communication issues, which led to a rough patch in our relationship. During that time, I met Luke, who seemed like a breath of fresh air with his insight and compatibility. Despite my efforts to keep things platonic, feelings developed, and I made the difficult decision to end things with David. Luke and I had a whirlwind romance, but ultimately, our differing views on having children made us realize we weren't meant to be. After some time alone, David and I reconnected and worked on our issues, but he struggles with insecurity stemming from my past with Luke. While I understand his feelings, I can't change the past or pretend I regret meeting someone who had a significant impact on my life. It's a tough situation, but open communication and understanding are key as we navigate this together.

Slight blood and wound warning! Anyways, this drawing is based on a rp scene I had done between my oc Ash, and a friends oc who goes by the name Heather.
Context: These two through out the start of the roleplay/meeting each other, have been in a toxic relationship with each other. Ash never saw it as dating, but Heather did, and when he went to go play his flirty games with someone else beside her, she overreacted and shot him in the arm for it. Ash almost beat the shit out of her, but the person he was with, prevented that from happening.

I was in a christian cult - not using the word lightly, they literally wanted to "take over" the city we were living in and openly talked about their indoctrination tactics and did not shy away from the manipulation aspects.
I got divorced and got out, but I have a child with my ex husband and we share custody nearly 50/50. I have her 4 nights a week and do all school drop offs, he has her 3 nights a week including Sunday morning church. I also have another, younger daughter.
As a single mom of 2 working at the local community college, I do not make enough money to be comfortable. Everything is paycheck to paycheck, and often things get in the negative before I can figure it all out. I recently reapplied for food stamps and found out I was going to qualify for the bare minimum because I couldn't claim her on my application after he and his wife had claimed her and started receiving benefits. Even still, I make every effort imaginable to continue to give my family a good life and never allow our lack of finances to negatively affect giving my girls a magical childhood.
In general we have a good coparenting relationship. We don't interfere with each other's lives, we are flexible and work together when things come up. Before his new wife came into the picture, I did all the work of finding a good school and moving into that area, even though he wanted her to attend christian school, I take care of all her doctor, dentist, etc., appointments. I hold her social security card and birth certificate. I keep track of who gets what holidays in a year. His new wife came in and has been so kind and respectful, my daughter loves her, and I'm grateful he married someone who will be good to my daughter.

I am worried now, because a few weeks ago, out of the blue, my daughter was upset about "having to tell her friends she won't see them next year, when she goes to a new school."
I reached out to her dad and his wife and asked "hey, she said this "XYZ" and before I react, I just wanted to ask you guys about it. I don't know of any plans to change her school"
They responded about being in the process of interviewing for a new job outside of town and hoping for it. They had asked my daughter how she would feel about changing schools as a way to take her preferences into account when making the decision, but nothing had been decided and they had not officially been offered the new job.
A few weeks went by and two separate times on a pickup day they told me she would be at her aunt's house because they were BOTH going to be in the other town at an interview for this job.
Today he reached out and told me "we" got the job, and they'd like to sit down and talk about logistics and dynamics and things.
–
I am extremely worried that this new job is something church related, as I can't think of anything else that would interview a husband and wife together.
I am extremely worried that he is going to request that my daughter moves in with them during the week and attends a new school closer to their new house.
I am scared for my daughter. The christian schools in my area (if not in general) are known for being absolutely vile - lying, promiscuity, drugs, much worse than the public schools because the religious families raise kids who are better at hiding things from their parents and other adults. I'm scared because my girl is so sweet, so innocent, and so impressionable. I wanted to raise her to be able to confidently make her own decision whether she wanted to believe in those things or not, and I'm worried that she will be indoctrinated in a cult-like way by these people who openly, proudly, flaunt those cult claims.
I am also very worried that by fighting for her to stay with me, I am not going to be doing what's best for her. I don't make much money. I'm a single mom. I don't have that kind of social community and network, like... if I'm struggling, I don't have anyone else to turn to. We always have food, whether I get to eat it or not. We don't have power or water shut off, we're not at risk of homelessness, but that's because I work myself to exhaustion making sure I have the resources to keep things on and paid. I was paid on the 10th and I was getting an overdraft fee last night because bills needed to be paid. Like. How can I possibly be able to do what's best for her? I don't want things to change like that. I do want what's best for my daughter, but how do I give her that as a single mom in this economy in this capitalistic hellscape? I don't even know if there's advice for this situation, I just don't know who to ask.

In the town of Portswin, Tennessee during the 1970s, there lived the Dorvell twins: Paul and Lara. With their dark brown hair and lovely brown eyes, they acted like they owned the school. They always treated their classmates like they were beneath them. Most kids are afraid to stand up to them because their parents are members of the PTA and they knew what would happen to them if they did.
However, there was only one person in town who wasn't afraid of them. Her name was Sallie Garrett and she was the new kid who just moved with her parents from the big city of Philadelphia in the north. Every day, she always wore a blue dress to school and at home which most kids thought was pretty weird.
She didn't care what they thought, though and when she first met the Dorvell twins, she only bumped into them by accident and that made Paul, the tougher of the twins angry. He told Sallie to apologize at once and she did so, sarcastically of course which only served to make them even more mad.
Once Sallie left, Lara and Paul plotted to make the new girl's life as miserable as possible. And for the next couple of days, they did so by flicking paper balls at her, tripping her in the school cafeteria, and calling her mean names. Sallie just ignored them, not letting their bullying get the best of her.
Finally, the twins had enough and they planned something so bad that it would change everything in their small town forever. One day, as Sallie was walking home from school, she noticed two people following her. She assumed that they were just other kids looking to make friends with her, at first.
But they kept following her and she was getting tired of it. Sallie turned around and she recognized the ones who are following her: Paul and Lara Dorvell. Her eyes widened and she began to sprint into the forest. She ran for miles and miles looking for a place to hide, but the twins were already behind her each of them holding a big rock in their hands.
Lara and Paul bashed her head with the rocks from behind and they continued to do so over and over again until Sallie stopped moving or fighting back. She was dead. Without any remorse, the evil twins buried her body that was wearing the blue dress in the woods, hoping to get away with the sin they have committed.
For a while, no one noticed that Sallie Garrett had vanished. But after a few hours, her folks started to get concerned that she hasn't arrived home for supper. So they began posting missing posters of the girl and even started a search party with the entire Dorvell family joining in to find the girl.
Tired of looking for Sallie, Paul and his sister headed off to another part of the woods to relax before they could continue on their search. Suddenly, they began to hear a voice. The voice sounded familiar as it said, Vengeance. Vengeance.
At first, they brushed it off as just the wind. But as the voice continued to repeat Vengeance, the twins started to feel like they were losing their minds. They covered their ears to block out the sound, but it got louder and louder until it was right behind them.
I'm here.
The Dorvell twins turned around to see Sallie just as she was when she died in her blue dress. But she and the dress were covered in dirt with Sallie herself still with the bleeding wound from her head.
"I-it can't be," Paul stuttered before screaming at her. "You're dead! You're dead!"
But Sallie just laughed and locked eyes with her killer, putting him in a trance. Lara hesitantly walked to her brother, but he smacked her in the head with a rock. The same rock he used to kill Sallie. Lara fell to the ground and tried to crawl away, but he caught up to her and began smashing her with the rock. And then, everything went black.
Once it was done, Sallie snapped the boy out of his hypnosis before smiling sweetly and fading away into the afterlife.
When the townsfolk found Sallie's body, they also found Paul standing over the body of his now dead sister, his lifeless eyes staring up at the sky. He tried to tell them that it wasn't him and it was Sallie's fault for making him kill his sister in the first place. Yet no one believed him. After all, his shirt and pants were covered in his sister's blood. So he admitted to not only killing Sallie, but also killing his sister.
After that, he was found guilty for the murders. But because of his young age, he was put away in a juvenile detention center before transferring to the county prison a few years later. For the rest of his life, he would often wonder whether it was guilt that drove him to kill his sister. Or maybe it was all in his head and that he was so obsessed with maintaining his status that drove him to commit this deed.
We'll never know, but this tragic incident impacted their small town for years to come and it still does to this day.
