Are you ready to transform education as we know it? Prepare to embark on a journey of innovation and growth with the upcoming launch of "The Learning Progression Model" by Elise B. Naramore. Scheduled for release on June 1st, this groundbreaking book offers a fresh perspective on teaching and learning, providing educators with practical strategies to implement a more effective and student-centered approach in their classrooms.
At the heart of "The Learning Progression Model" (LPM) lies a flexible and dynamic framework that prioritizes learning as a continuous process rather than a final destination. Unlike traditional grading systems that often focus solely on outcomes, LPM emphasizes growth, encourages academic risk-taking, and fosters positive student-teacher relationships.
So, what sets LPM apart from conventional teaching methods? Here are some key benefits that educators can expect to gain from implementing this model:
Focus on Growth: LPM shifts the focus from grades to growth, empowering students to take ownership of their learning journey. By emphasizing progress over perfection, educators can create a supportive environment where students feel motivated to continually improve.
Personalized Learning: With LPM, educators have the flexibility to tailor instruction to meet the individual needs of each student. By recognizing and accommodating diverse learning styles and abilities, teachers can ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
Promotion of Reflective Practice: LPM encourages students to engage in reflective practice, fostering a growth mindset and a deeper understanding of their own learning process. By regularly reflecting on their progress and setting goals for improvement, students can develop essential metacognitive skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.
Positive Student-Teacher Relationships: By prioritizing collaboration and open communication, LPM promotes positive relationships between students and teachers. By establishing a supportive and nurturing classroom environment, educators can create a sense of belonging and foster a love for learning.
As we prepare for the launch of "The Learning Progression Model," let us embrace this opportunity to revolutionize education and empower the next generation of learners. Join us on June 1st as we embark on this transformative journey together!

The Quran holds immense significance for Muslims, and nurturing a love for its teachings is a cherished goal for many parents. In today’s digital age, online Quran classes offer a convenient and accessible way for children to embark on this journey. This guide explores both online Quran classes for kids and online Quran memorization programs, empowering you to find the ideal platform to cultivate your child’s Islamic knowledge and connection with the holy text.

What to Look for in Online Quran Classes for Kids

• Age-Appropriate Curriculum: The curriculum should be tailored to a child’s age group, focusing on foundational concepts like basic Arabic letters, pronunciation (Tajweed), and short surahs (chapters) in a fun and interactive way.

What to Consider in Online Quran Memorization Classes (Hifz) for Kids

• Gradual Progression: Memorization programs should be age-appropriate and follow a gradual progression, ensuring children are not overwhelmed and can retain what they learn.
• Focus on Proper Tajweed: Memorization should always be accompanied by proper pronunciation (Tajweed) to ensure accurate recitation from the outset.

Online Quran classes and memorization programs offer a valuable resource for nurturing your child’s understanding and connection with the Quran. By finding the right platform and approach, you can empower your child to embark on a rewarding journey of Islamic learning and spiritual growth.

I come from a small country at 18 I've been in sales door-to-door and phone sales I've had 12 employers, and after 2 years everything changed.
Later I started with website developing WordPress businesses to the same principle calling Google Maps companies.
At that time I met a client and started helping them look for new clients for their cleaning company business with +100 employees and also started with real estate I still knew and hadn't signed any contract I just had a verbal agreement for a deal that 50% of profit after sell and rent will be mine.
We built a hostel, I started making marketing for our business, we started with handmade clay buttons for luck, and employed the disabled people I got a deal to start selling in a store. Then COVID came and destroyed the business.
I've found the office, negotiated for price, and found the constructors to renovate the place.
Then we bought another place as well for 49.000€ 35m2 but prices in my country are absurd nowadays, especially for the location.
I've started managing the booking and have been done a few times in a row Airbnb superhost.
2 years ago everything changed…My business partner fell into a coma after 1 month he woke up and survived but when he woke up he forgot everything, his wife hates me because we spent much time growing the business. Before she wanted a divorce and he built her a new house just to leave him alone.
After that day I lost the apartment, 5.000-15.000€ on rent hostel and Airbnb every month, 400.000€ with selling renovated places and much more I lost my best friend.
My immune system crashed I've got food intolerance on nearly everything I've got rashes on my skin.
All the money I've had I spent on doctors, acupuncture, etc… now it's better but it still has not completely disappeared.
After a year I opened a new company for selling silver jewelry but the market in my country was too small and couldn't sell enough.
Website businesses stopped working, small businesses stopped investing in marketing.
Then I decided to go and leave my country now I found a job as a waiter on a luxury cruise ship on the way to the US I had a B1/B2 (I can open a company or look for a job) visa for 10 years.
I plan to stay in the US but where should I start?
What you will do in my position I am 26 with $10k?

1. Selling again (phones, door to door, cars…
2. Marketing helps business to grow their business (I've helped many to grow their business)
3. WordPress, Shopify websites
4. Learn new skills (plumbing, carpenter)
5. Resell items on eBay
6. I have also a hypnosis certificate

I missed out on a lot of great stuff, not playing the first several Expeditions. Here in the NMS Reddits, I saw lots of talk about freighters. Naturally I got curious about them. I chose one, then learned that there are two basic classes of freighters. The very common System Freighters, and there are a bunch to choose from. Then, there are the Capital Freighters. Now comes in three flavors, Sentinel, Venator and Pirate Dreadnought. I have flown in all three, and now, in each of their variations. Though, until today, never even one 'S' Class. I was doing the time pulsing my starship around trying my best to scare up just one Organic Frigate. I went to my Pirate freighters bridge, thought better of taking my Capital ship in first, and short teleported to the Hangar Bay, jumped into a new Sentinel starship, launched, then opened the Galaxy Map. I chose a nearby Pirate controlled system. And, jumped. Arrived smack in the middle of a big battle, with a Pirate Dreadnought attacking a big Venator Resurgent freighter. Aw, why not... I flew right to the rear of the Pirate, shot up all its warp engines, then eased up into the Shield Gen channels, blew all of those out, got the message to go get or destroy the Pirate ship....as usual, ya have to dock in its landing bay just to see what class it is and all that. I did, saw it was a C and that one lost out instantly. I flew out and shot it to bits. Then, just for giggles, I thought to check out that big ol Resurgent. I have two in other saved games, but alas, never an S Class. When I landed, I used F to check the deck for its info. What?! An S class??!! COOL! I exited, called in my Pirate Freighter, landed back in the Resurgent, ran up to the command deck (it's forward!) (ha!) and I was gonna buy it outright. BUT the game has other ideas. It let me trade mine for this one. Oh gee, a B class loaded up at 193 millions for this S class at 23 millions? HECK YES IT'S A DEAL! Units. Nanites. Quicksilver. I gots them! I now also have a lovely S Class Resurgent level Venator type Freighter! FINALLY! I HAVE ONE! Yeah all it takes is just stumbling on one, lucky as THAT! LOL! Thanks for listening in folks, this was fun!
I finally GOT ONE! Yaaaay ME! :oD

Hello, im trying to learn BASIS as a junior, ive heard about the TADM100 books, but i cant seem to find anything? I have access to open.sap and SAP Learning Hub, professional edition. Are there maybe new ones that have replaced it?
When i started almost a year ago it was pretty hard to learn stuff, most i read was what "sap" is, not what is a RFC connection? What is a transport? What is a system refresh? Stuff like that would have been helpful.
If you have any other tips for good basic basis education i would be grateful.

Hades 2 has a complex game system where not just crafting incantations will help you. You also have to learn how to unlock and use your Arcana Cards to maximize your win streak. The more cards you start unlocking, the more eager you would be to use them all. But that isn’t possible unless you can increase your grasp. In this guide we will see how to increase grasp in Hades 2

A number of fans of the Homeworld (HW) Universe have put a lot of thought and effort into their posts and that’s a testament to the passion that HW has brought to a lot of people.
I want to start by stating it pains me to say HW 3, especially the campaign has been a disappointment. Did we know what we were getting? Yes we had clues. Did we know the potential that HW 3 could have been based on the previous games? Oh there was immense potential!
The Homeworld series has been my favourite games (including mods) since the release of HW 1 in 1999 and I was a FIG backer for HW 3. None of the games have been perfect, but the storytelling left a long term impression and naturally the desire to want more from the series and continue to story. This has led to a loyal fan base including myself. I remember reading the HW1 manual and details about the Kushan Kiithid and the ships details numerous times.
Some of the epic storytelling events in the series that have made Homeworld what it is:
· The Kushan Kithid feuding for generations on a desert planet, Kharak, to then discover an ancient starship (Khar-Toba) buried in the desert sands. The genetic study also revealing they were not native to the planet.
· Discovering the Guide Stone in the Khar-Toba with a map pointing out Hiigara “Home”
· Discovering a Hyperspace Core and the Kiithid coming together to build the Mothership with Karan S’Jet integrated as Fleet Command
· Kharak burning – What treaty did the Kharak people break and what was their past? The war with the Taiidan Empire begins to reclaim their home.
· The Garden of Kadesh and realising they were part of the same race.
· The Bentusi and discovering why the people of Hiigara were exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy.
· Defeating the Taiidan Emperor, Riesstiu IV, and taking back Hiigara
· Learning more about the Kiithid in Cataclysm, the Beast, and the Bentusi’s fear – “We shall not be bound”
· Bentus sacrificing itself so the Hiigarans and Karan S’Jet could re-unite the 3 Hyperspace Cores
· Progenitor Relics, ships and guardians
· Balcora Gate and the battle to recovering the third Hyperspace core from Makaan (who believed he was the Sajuuk-Khar) and the Vagyr
· Transferring from the mothership to the long-lost Progenitor starship Sajuuk. Seeing the mothership drift away. It was a memorable moment .
· Saving Hiigara from the Scorched Earth scenario. The fleet fought hard to save Hiigara and their people.
· The Eye of Aaran which Sajuuk and the 3 hyperspace cores unlocking the vast hyperspace gate network. Hiigara opened up a trade/exploration/colonisation network across the galaxy and beyond. Not just for them, but for all civilisations.
Finally the day comes when the HW3 Collector’s Edition arrives after waiting years as a FIG Backer. It was amazing. The artwork was beautiful. The models were great and go well with the HW2 collector’s edition. After so many years, HW3 was finally here!
I finished the HW3 campaign a couple of nights ago. First there was anger, frustration, followed by mourning the loss of such a great opportunity that could have been for the Homeworld Universe. After playing 4 previous HW games for years, it feels like the team that wrote the HW3 script really did not understand the franchise, storyline to date, and its ‘spirit’.
After watching the promotional videos from the team from Blackbird Interactive saying HW3 was for the fans that have been with them along the 25 year journey (Relic Entertainment back then) the disappointment was very real. Sure it’s a visually beautiful game and some of the game features are an improvement which they couldn’t do in HW 1 and 2, but this did not feel like a continuation for the long term fans. This felt like a simpler HW labelled game for a new fan base. Such a missed opportunity! There has been the release of Homeworld Mobile and the VR version so Gearbox are looking to maximise the revenue while they can, and I can’t blame them for that.
My HW3 opinion:
· Aesthetically, HW3 is stunning
· I really like the look of the Khar-Kushan Mothership
· Deserts of Kharak showed the struggle and Kiithid conflict aswell as how difficult life was on a Desert Planet. HW1 was about the Kushan coming together to fight for their true home after Kharak was burned. Cataclysm did a good job expanding the different Kushan (now Hiigaran) Kiithid. HW2 felt like an “unbound” storyline with the three Hyperspace Cores – Karan got her time in the limelight – the three cores and Sajuuk combined was the key to the hyperspace network and “The Age of S’Jet”. HW3 continued with a focus on being ‘unbound’ lacking the substance behind who the Hiigarans are and their history, even before their exile…a missed opportunity.
· Popular fan request – Let us finish collecting resources! Imogen and the fleet were being hunted so I understand the urgency behind the gameplay…….but still, the player should have the option to jump when they want to.
· Besides one interceptor getting stuck on an object on mission 13, I had a pretty smooth gaming experience. The intelligence of the fleet and formations was a bit dodgy which required a lot of micro management.
· Cinematics between missions. The quality varied. Feels like more time and money was spent on the development of each one instead of a decent storyline. Why did it need to be done when you compare to the predecessor games? Likely because this game was more character focussed instead of a Fleet Focus.
· Khar-Kushan colliding with the giant freighter. That would have caused catastrophic damage and serious structural integrity issues. It seemed a bit too much! An evasive manoeuvre which led to the Synth Hyperspace Core housing being damaged as it clipped the freighter would have been enough to temporarily take out, power, propulsion and two out of the three cores.
· Ship designs were bland and generic lacking the HW2 creativity. Hiigarans have discovered quite a bit of Progenitor tech so why are they still stuck with the same types of weapons.
· No Sub Systems compared to HW2
· No targetable ship components e.g. engines, primary weapon etc. compared to HW2
· IMO the fleet ship types and options were far inferior to HW 1 & 2. It felt dumbed down significantly.
· One kind of Corvette……..really???
· Hiigaran Carrier….horrible design and couldn’t keep up with the Khar-Kushan.
· Why no Ship Yard? I can understand the Khar-Kushan had capital ship building capabilities, but it still would have added flexibility in Fleet logistics.
· Fleet control options were not great and missing a few options compared to HW 1 & 2. When you have a fast paced fleet battle going on, you want to minimise the time it takes to search for ship order functions.
· Using classic controls with terrain tunnels sucked. I struggled with the camera view because of the terrain. Too often I was met with blue screen because the camera was inside a structure or terrain.
· The antagonist – The Queen of Incarnate, Tiaa’Ma. An Unbound that has been around for millennia with far superior knowledge and use of hyperspace, can move and destroy planets on a whim, can turn off hypergates or redirect them. With that kind of power, why didn’t she hunt down the cores and search the galaxy for them? A tyrant that has killed millions. The Queen in general as the antagonist and the campaign ending was incredibly bad.
· With the 3 Hyperspace Cores gone, the 15^th fleet are not the only ones stranded. The Hyperspace gate network is down for all civilisations. Far jumping is gone. What detrimental effect will that have on the galaxy at large including the Hiigaran colonies, economy, diplomatic relations with other civilisations etc.?
· Imogen’s choice not to engage with the Incarnate after their Queen was gone was poor form!
· Imogen S’Jet – The hair…dry and wet…WTF
· I personally wanted to learn more about the Progenitor. Instead, I got hive mind Progenitor worshipers and still very little information about them or those who created the cores and the gates etc.
· Sajuuk combined with the three hyperspace cores was the key to opening the Hyperspace Gates. It was a superior ship IMO. So where is Sajuuk now? Were the 3 cores removed and put into a new mothership (Khar-Sajuuk) with the primary weapon looking like a mini Sajuuk sticking out of the centre of the ship. If it is the Sajuuk with the Mothership built around it, the scale is way off. Sajuuk was a mothership size vessel!
So after that rant, HW3 is beautiful but a hard pill to swallow after 25 years of loving the HW Universe. Life goes on! I hope the loyal fan base provides constructive feedback for BBI and Gearbox Software in hope it is listened to and used to bring back epic storytelling.

Hello fellow Europeans!
I've been following Volt for some time, and I subscribe to most of it's views. I've looked at how I could vote for them in France for the upcoming european elections and learned that they made a coalition with other like-minded small parties through the "Europe Territoire Ecologie" (ETE) european party.
That said, France has a weird system where parties which score under 5% don't get any seats in the European Parliament. And ETE (so VoltFrance) is far from reaching that goal.
My question then for you Volters is: what's the best way to support Volt in France? Should I still vote for Volt for other reasons (which I would like to know if there are any), or should I look at similar parties which are more likely to score over 5%, and support Volt through other means (donations, joining local chapters, ...)?
Thanks for your answers!

Hello, I recently rebuilt the AC system on my 1983 240d. I Installed a rebuilt r4 compressor, replaced o-rings, expansion valve, drier, flushed the lines, added ester oil and began adding r12 from an old tank I purchased off Craigslist.
I was weighing it as I was adding, but I took too long to check the final weigh in. (I was using a cheap bathroom scale that needed to recalibrate itself each time, and I must have taken too long for my last check).
I ended up adding 3lb of r12, which is 0.4lb over the required 2.6lb. It seems to be running fine, low side pressure is at 30psi, and high side at 160psi, and the air is blowing at about 42F. Is there any issue long term having this much r12 over? Should I be worried about anything?
Thanks!

Can someone share any good resources to learn about I2C,SP2,UART etc?
How important is it to have a good understanding of these concepts when it comes to digital systems design?

I spent most of my adult life abroad. Living in countries that aren't your home teaches you quickly that you have no opinion on their country, rules, or way of doing things. Follow the rules to the letter and show every respect you're given. You'll never be in charge of native citizens at work. You can often be considered a token friend, "the foreigner."
Why don't our visa holders follow these rules?
Is it because we're too polite?
I work at a university. My boss is a foreigner who I'm sure has been here forever and earned her stripes - but it's not home to her. When discussing learning objectives for a course that are too complicated, she doesn't understand why we make students learn them. i.e. citations. Oh, AI? We're not the police. Skip it. What she knows but doesn't care about is that the Canadian education system is currently well-regarded. However, how long will it take before our "graduates" with a paper-only degree and no education degree spread the word that our degrees are garbage?
And that's the problem. Foreigners come in, and Canada is often considered temporary, so they don't care.
Canadians need an attitude change. We must be more vocal about what is and isn't acceptable in our country. If I were in China, Germany, Japan, Mongolia, or France and tried any of the BS I see at work or on public transit, there would not be one citizen who'd think twice before correcting me. So why are Canadians only quietly speaking to each other?

Disclaimer: I am not the DM but a player recruiting on the DM's behalf and with their express permission.
This campaign, called Jade Chronicles, takes place in the continent of Durra, a land that has spent millennia covered in a deadly Miasma, long enough for most histories to be lost and rewritten anew a mix the struggle to survive, Over time, those living there have learn to adapt, using a combination of jade and myrrh to ward villages, towns and cities from the Miasma and having little interest to leave the safety and relative normality of settlements. Despite( or due to) a reluctance to leave the safety of settlements, trade and commerce, both legal and illegal, is in great demand. This has led to the advent of individuals known as Wanderers, adventurers with a willingness, or lack of alternatives, to travel through the Miasma in caravans, a fact that has them looked down upon by townsfolk, who assume the worst of most Wanderers and treat them as a tolerated part of life in Durra. You'll be playing as a Wanderer, traveling the roads for any variety of reasons.
Jade Chronicles is a homebrew campaign taking place in an homebrew version of Golarion featuring a number of house rules, official optional systems and setting relevant changes. The most relevant are:

• We'll be using a bell-curve in place of flat probability distribution I.e. any time you would roll 1d20, instead just use the total result of 3d6. In the long run, this tends to produce a "grittier", more realistic style of story because there are fewer fantastical coincidences. It's also because, with the average result being so much more likely, this favors the stronger side in combats. Although that's very often the PCs, it means that the choice to avoid combat is more valid – and that a villain's superiority over masses of weaker foes is more emphatic. And as an aside, it also means the GM can more safely design challenges without quite as much risk of a comical, coincidental disaster derailing the story.
• Spellcasting will be greatly altered with every spellcaster having a base pool of Mana based on class and level instead of spell slots.
• The Ability Scores spellcasting characters use to govern and manage their spellcasting are now distributed across their three mental attributes, with the save DC of your spells is based on your Intelligence score, your bonus Mana points for having a high ability score is calculated based on your Wisdom, and the amount of Mana you recover per night of sleep is equal to your Caster Level in that class plus your Charisma modifier. There is also no longer a minimum ability score required to be able to cast a spell of a given spell level for your class.
• There are a number of classes which are not appropriate to use for this story for one reason or another meaning Gunslinger, Summoner, Vigilante, Vampire Hunter and all the Occult Adventures classes are banned. Firearm technology just isn't commonplace, we won't be staying in one city fighting crime, we will be vagabond pariahs, and this is a story indeed about the relationships between travelers on an epic journey - not about the eldritch powers of the mind and mysterious aliens.

The campaign is set to run on Mondays in the evenings at 5 pm PDT. We plan to meet on the May 20nd to have Session 3, we'll be doing a non-cannon dungeon crawl to give everyone a chance to get to know each other and to playtest the rules we'll be playing by before we start the proper campaign. The intended group size is 5, so currently we have 4 players. Though subject to change, we currently have a fighter, oracle, wizard and inquisitor.
Anyone interested or having questions, message me here on reddit, direct message or chat is fine. I'm typically available in the evenings so please be patient if I don't reply immediate.

Hey all, I'm sure these "what do these symptoms sound like" posts get redundant, but I'm trying to help my mom. Over the past 6 months she's been in increasing amounts of pain. I had her type out her story and I'm going to post it for her. I myself was diagnosed with fibro back in 2020. My pain is different than hers but as we know, fibro comes in all sorts of flavors. Take a look below and lmk what you think. Hope you're having an awesome and pain free day :)
"Back in November I injured my back from picking up a young child incorrectly, I picked her up with my arms extended instead of close to my core, right after I picked her up I felt a “twinge” in my lower back and thought to myself darn my back didn’t like that and set her down. I didn’t think much of it and went on with my day, by the next day I noticed my sciatia was bothering me. I waited one more day and then decided to see my acupuncturist, and she solved my problem but I noticed back pain lingered. I continued my usual daily routines and work schedule. Weeks passed and still the pain wasn’t going away. I also started to develop severe acid reflux and had no previous history then came constipation, and stomach pain after I would eat no matter what I ate or how small the meal. I started twice weekly acupuncture treatments hoping for relief. I had a little but nothing consistent. After six weeks of twice a week treatments I stopped. The back pain seem to get worse, it didn’t matter if I would try to do nothing and just relax or if I had a busy day and took care of my grandson.
The pain patterns don’t make sense, the soreness can feel like its directly in my spine or the muscles on each side of my spine. Sometimes my back muscles hurt so bad it’s the type of sore pain that you feel when you get the flu and have intense body aches. The pain is localized from my mid back down to my lower back. As time goes on the nights seem to be the worse, I fall sleep but with 1 to 2 hours I wake up with pain in extreme intensity, it feels like someone is squeezing my entire torso or crushing my spine. Heat use to help but it doesn’t bring soothing relief anymore. In the past 1-2 months the intensity of the pain has been getting worse to the point where it affects my ability to cope with the pain and I start to do short rapid breathing to cop with it, kind of like being in labor.
I decided to consult a chiropractor to be evaluated for possible disk or vertebrae damage. He had a different approach to testing and evaluating, he uses a computerized test the measures the central nervous system along with health history and x-rays. He references the sympathetic and para-sympathetic system and how those systems affect so many systems throughout the body and I was familiar with the information is why I concluded my acid reflux and stomach issues developed shortly after my back injury. After researching online I concluded that I developed Gastroparesis which is tied to the Vegus nerve and its functions. I was going three times a week for adjustments but now I’m going daily because we learned that my nervous system is so inflamed that even the adjustments cause me immense pain later that day and the next.
I feel like there hasn’t been any significant improvements yet. It’s almost getting worse the longer time passes. Nights are my most dreaded time because I only sleep 3-4 hours and I go from my bed to couch trying to change positions or use ice or heat to bring hopeful relief. Nothing seems to help, no position lying or sitting, heat or ice, resting or active. Occasionally I have a day where the pain is minimal and then I think I’m on my way to normalcy then the night or next day is unbearable. The past two days I’ve had to resort to taking over the counter pain medication but I haven’t resorted to that because I know it can cause stomach and liver damage.
Overall summary of pain; mild to extreme lower back muscle, tissue or nerve pain/ mid spine directly in my vertebrae a feeling as if some put a wedge right into my spine/ entire back muscle pain so intense that when the hot water of a shower hits it I cringe until my body adjusts/ acid reflux but has almost disappeared with the help of chiropractic adjustments, stomach pains after eating continue and are very painful/ constipation improved with chiropractor adjustments but has returned again/ Epson salt baths, hot showers, inferred sauna all help while in process but after the pain and soreness return/ physical therapy helped strengthen core but no back relief/ yoga poses or stretches don’t help/ meditative breathing doesn’t help.

It's been 6 months the incident/trigger of injury doesn’t justify the length and intensity of ongoing pain. I believe my body has been in the sympathetic mode (fight or flight) for months. I just want to understand why this is lingering so long and so intense. Any feedback is greatly appreciated."

Hey there. I’m 35F and I once had a friend who’s 33F. Her name is Sara. We were friends for over ten years and we connected because we were abused by the same man at different points of our lives. We healed together, bonded, and had a very close friendship. Sara was codependent with me. She vented about her personal issues a lot. Her family is in Mexico and she has no freaking support system so she was very overwhelming. She had anxiety problems, a chronic illness, and she got herself into a lot of abusive situations. I was there for her every time. She asked sometimes if she was “too much” but I felt I couldn’t tell her yes or I’d feel guilty. Tension between us got worse and worse. She was getting more and more toxic and I was pissed. She apologized and said it was best if we stopped being friends. I knew damn well she was right.
My husband and I were out with family. We learned that his brother’s girlfriend knew my (and Sara’s) abusive ex boyfriend. I told both of them about the abuse I went through as well as Sara’s experience (without saying her name) because Sara’s included financial abuse and physical abuse which is important to mention obviously.
Anyway months later I get a call from a familiar looking number. It’s my abusive ex. He was really mad that he lost a coworker friend because of a reputation caused by fake rumors which is annoying because he genuinely did abuse me and Sara and many others. I had no clue how he got my number but I said nothing and listened as he said something that sounded like it was about Sara (“I knew it was either you or your friend spreading this shit” blah blah I can’t remember). I hung up and blocked but my head was so hazy I instantly thought yeah it’s definitely Sara who gave him my number it only makes sense if it is.
I immediately left Sara a voicemail saying all kinds of really awful stuff I’d rather not repeat. It was along the lines of “every time something bad happens to you I hope you know you deserve it.” Sara was confused. Once I calmed down her confusion made me realize she didn’t do what I was accusing her of. She saw the uproar as some others were sending her “how could you do this” messages and she sent proof through her work email (LOL) that she didn’t even know my number or her abusive ex boyfriend’s and reminded me that she is scared to message him in the first place because he abused her too. She even sent her message history. She said she loves me (?) and regrets the way she treated me in the past but she swears she didn’t do what I accused of her.
Look, it was a bad moment but it really did seem like she did it. And I was not thinking straight with everything that happened. I was lost in my own anger and trauma plus I had no respect for her after she’d been such a bad friend in the past so I didn’t expect great things from her.
Flash forward to today. She thinks I don’t know her Twitter but I do. She’s going through a horrible health scare. As in, hospitalizations and lots of scans and procedures being led to more scans and procedures. Yup, she’s that childish and posts that kind of stuff. I noticed a little thread where she said to her fiancé (I think) that she “is so grateful that he’s there and tells her she doesn’t deserve it” and she can’t help but feel that way sometimes because “that voicemail you know about” and he was like “yeah well that person was an asshole.”
Or was this all just a misunderstanding during a really traumatizing time for me? Maybe we all sucked? I don’t know. I feel guilty so I wanted to talk about it here.
Sara, if you’re reading this, don’t try to message me all angry for posting or wanting to be friends again. Just ignore this.
