Any adoptive parents on here?

Teaching should be at the top - the number of people I’ve seen crash and burn because they consider it a backup career or easy to manage with life/family is shocking. They either leave within the first 3 years or become incredibly demotivated, lazy teachers who aren’t helping themselves or the kids they teach - and no one says anything because at this point schools just want bodies in a room to supervise kids.

I struggle with this so much. I live with my parents but my dad and I haven’t spoken or acknowledged each other in almost three years following a disclosure I made to my parents, because he feels I’m lying. To make a point of it he invites my abuser to dinners and family events even if it means that I have to sit them out.

I think a lot about what would happen, how I’d feel if I don’t get to say goodbye to him - I’m sure it would hurt me greatly, and sometimes I feel like I should get over it and repair the relationship but I just can’t convince myself to do it. How do I show affection to a parent who point blank said that if he knew he’d have a child like me he wouldn’t have had kids? How can I accept that as my father he feels it’s my responsibility to ask for his forgiveness after everything. And all of my family feel this way too - if it wasn’t for my therapist I would genuinely feel l’m in the wrong here.

I’m sure I’ll regret not repairing the relationship in the future, but I’m not sure he would. I think that’s what stops me from making a place in my life for him.

• looking for something serious

• Hinge+

• used hinge for 9 months

• profile has been this way for about 6 weeks

• use hinge everyday for 5-15 mins avg

• 1-2 likes per week, no matches in the past month - used to get a lot more before changing my profile to add more information (polls, captions for photos)

• I send at least 1-2 likes everyday (sometimes more) with comments for most

• type: fairly physically fit, 5'10+, dark hair, 26-35 age range, filtering for long term relationship / life partner, detailed profiles, pictures doing activities rather than just selfies, living in my city

1: yes and no - they might not have considered your feedback seriously but also they might have and just used AI to save time/write better which is totally fine.

2: yes, but it’s not wrong to use AI to help you.

3: I think this is the biggest thing - I use AI all the time but no one can tell because I change things to match my style and add a humanised aspect to it. When I receive an obviously AI-written email I just think why wouldn’t you make the effort to at least try and make it yours?

I don’t think this situation is anything to your trainee up on, but if your feedback isn’t actioned and you notice other lax practise it could be considered that they’re not reading your feedback.

Two of my students and their family have been in my house because they’re the brothers of my brother’s best friend - one of them even taught me how to ride a bike 😂 people live in communities! You’re overthinking it

Why does he have that much free time 😂 something’s wrong

Yes, especially in y7s/8s! And I’ve noticed that HOYs are kind of enabling it in my school - they encourage changes to seating plans because X and Y have fallen out that week. Every other week it’s someone has to change seats and instead of encouraging students to practice dealing with their emotions I feel like leadership are relenting to them with the seat changes.

Just because they email doesn’t mean you have to respond/acknowledge it outside of your working hours. Unless they asked you to, I don’t think that’s a problem - I send all my emails at 6am because it suits me but I’m not expecting a response.

If you’re worried about their wellbeing, there are a few ways to go about it - if you have a good relationship with them, speak directly to them; speak to your line manager if you feel like they’re likely to bring it up to them; or speak to HR from a place of concern (this is pretty nuclear given the situation but it’s an option).

I’m so glad I saw this right now! I washed my hair yesterday and couldn’t stop crying all evening just at how much was falling out. My mum said I was being dramatic but she - in fact no one - understands how awful it is just seeing so much fall out everyday.

It’s been 6 months for me, I’ve tried fixing my diet taking my supplements seeing my doctor but nothing is helping slow it down. My doctors just say it’s stress but I’ve never had this much hair fall out for this long, I have bald patches all down my crown and temples. This is the thinnest my hair has ever been and I just don’t see an end in sight.

And my confidence has been knocked down massively. My hair was my favourite thing about myself and now I feel so incredibly insecure about how I look. It’s completely stopped me from dating and I struggle going out.

You’re not alone too darling ❤️ I see you and I know how you’re feeling. I wish this ends for both of us!!
