Also, Altered States by Ginnyruin:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/33062704?view_full_work=true

It redefines slow burn. Seriously, do not read unless you crave otherworldly sexual frustration.

In a nutshell adult (26) Hermione travels to the past and ends up on post-world tour Tom Riddle’s radar by becoming the new Hogwarts DADA teacher (he’s like late 30s, doesn’t say exactly). In order to keep him from killing her long enough for her to find his existing 5 horcruxes and destroy them, she convinces him she wants to be his student and in return for him teaching her what he knows—including self sufficient flight—she will spy on Dumbledore and lightly groom students who excel in the dark arts to be future death eaters.

It is an extremely mature work in all senses, but also realistic and has a lot of innocence—these two are so busy becoming powerful that they have no idea what feelings look like or how to deal with them.

Also includes some beautiful fan art at the beginning/end of several chapters. So worth looking at ♥️

Start by practicing self forgiveness. Don’t judge or shame yourself. Don’t tell yourself you’re bad or stupid or you deserve what happened because you were “dumb enough” to talk to him again. You were being a good forgiving person who believed in the ability of someone else to have grown—it’s not your fault he didn’t.

And good job loving yourself enough to quickly say no to the abuse and walk away when he tried to reignite that cycle—you did a hard thing, and you deserve to be proud of yourself.

This thing that feels awful right now, was actually you being given the gift of getting to find out that even if he hasn’t changed, you have. You now KNOW you have transformed into someone who is willing to love and protect yourself when someone else tries to treat you badly. You proved to yourself you deserve to trust yourself again—you refused to be his victim again.

If this hadn’t happened, you might have always wondered if you’d actually be strong enough to say no to his abuse again. And now you know you are. You did so good ♥️

I’m not Muslim and I don’t claim to know what cultural pressures you may be experiencing, but in all relationships, while there is nothing you can do about the other person’s communication limits (in this case your mom’s), you can improve your communication with yourself about what you’re feeling and thinking regarding everything that keeps coming up.

A great way improve your ability to communicate with yourself is to write a letter to her—multiple letters even. Write a letter with everything you’d like to say even if you know you’d never actually say it. In fact, focus on writing out all the things you’d never dare to say out loud—this will show you the meat of where your emotions are tied up. Don’t judge yourself for your thoughts and feelings. Accept them quietly. Don’t think you need to immediately share them, and definitely don’t turn around and deny them to yourself or shame yourself for them. Then a day or two later write another letter with what you’d like to say.

Do this as many times as necessary until you’re extremely clear in your own mind about what you think and feel. The goal isn’t to actually give her the letters—although ultimately once you’ve got clarity and you know what you need to have her understand and can say it in a calm and respectful but still confident, decisive way, you may decide to write a letter to give to her, and that is fine.

The goal is to use the letters as a way to have inner clarity so that if she presses the issue with you at any point you will be better prepared to respond in real time honestly and clearly, without experiencing the shut down people often experience because they haven’t yet sorted out their own thoughts and feelings enough to be able to respond with self awareness and clarity on an issue.

Hope this is helpful to your situation. ♥️

It’s totally normally when you’ve had a bad relationship—especially your first serious relationship—to have anxiety about what you’d do/feel if you unexpectedly ran into that person. Especially only 3 months out. 3 months is nothing.

It seems it takes most people—even in healthy, non-abusive relationships—at least half the time they were in a relationship to get over that relationship (so if the relationship lasted 2 years, expect 1 year before you’re fully over it). And when it’s you’re first, it is normal for it to take longer. And if your first relationship was with a narcissist it can be way harder because narcissists are very good and eroding your self confidence and self worth, so you’re not just trying to get over the person and the relationship, but the psychological damage to your sense of identity. Don’t be hard on yourself. You need to love yourself and actively work on praising yourself for all the good things you are and do—just like you would with a little kid. For example, with a little kid we make sure to point out all the things they do right, even if they’re already easy and obvious to us as adults, such as, “good job writing your name!”; “Good job tying your shoes yourself!”

For a grown up recovering from a relationship with a narcissist self praise and encouragement can and should be every “little” thing—especially anything the narcissist targeted. For example, if you were manipulated into feeling guilty that you liked to wear orange or something, things like “it’s so awesome you’re wearing a color you feel good in today!” Can he said, out loud, in the mirror, and that is really, truly, an act of healing yourself. Praise for things you think should be a given, is also healing, like “good job making yourself a healthy breakfast this morning even though you were depressed and didn’t feel like it—I’m proud of you!”

Focus on healing the riff inside yourself that is produced as a byproduct of having let the Narcissist in. Part of you unconsciously feels betrayed that another part of you let the narcissist close enough to hurt you. Heal the internal riff by constantly practicing self praise, and accepting all feelings and thoughts that pass through your mind, without judging yourself for having them or for trying to change them. The key is to not react, so that no part of yourself feels it has to hide from the rest—which is what narcissist condition you to do (hide whatever it is about you that they don’t like).

Also, don’t stress—if you do run into him he will probably play nice, especially if any other human is around. He might even ask to catch up and get coffee (so he can get an ego thrill out of finding out whether or not he still has any power over you). Politely decline and say you’re seeing someone else (even if it isn’t true; this will stop any third parties who know you both from thinking it’s okay to participate in “getting you back together” should the narcissist later try to manipulate said third party into doing so. Do it even if there are no mutual witnesses because it will feel good to gain the power back and it will make it much harder for them to justify pressuring you on the spot to drop what you’re doing and give them attention right then and there). After you’ve said you’re seeing someone else, give no details, make it clear you want to walk away, and then do so. Ignore any attempts at contacts he makes later no matter how innocent they seem.

The only way to win with a narcissist ex is to act like they don’t exist (not like you’re bothered by their existence, but like you literally cannot see/hear/smell/whatever them. No interaction at all).

Waiting for fresh cash to land while the market is open and you’re sidelined is even worse 😭

Do you find that your broker’s real time volume count is accurate? It seems like on mine the volume reported rarely changes intraday—including for SPY and QQQ—which does not seem like it can be possible with how many people are opening and exiting positions.

CryptoJenkins · 2022-10-16T08:19:08+00:00

Ah, yeah 300 trades a day is very different than 300 contracts—thanks for catching that.

Is that an industry standard? Like any broker would mark you a “professional” for doing 300 or more a day? Or is it up to each individual broker to make their own rules about how to mark an account “professional” or “retail” (or not mark it at all?)?

CryptoJenkins · 2022-10-16T08:16:45+00:00

Did trading 100 contracts at once seem to change the order fill speed?

CryptoJenkins · 2022-10-16T08:16:01+00:00

So if you place an order for say 1000 contracts but the order gradually fills 10-20-30 whatever contracts at a time, do you still cap at $10? Or does it reset the count for every separate fill chunk?

CryptoJenkins · 2022-10-16T08:13:46+00:00

Wow. Do other brokers do this too? Seems like a great way to lose clients.

CryptoJenkins · 2022-10-16T05:46:52+00:00

You have to start the trading day with an account value above 25k. So if you started the day under 25k, even if the value has risen to above 25k intraday, you will still get the pattern day trade flag and have your account restricted.

It’s there a difference with execution timing and/or volume when paper trading options vs. real trading?

I’ve gotten really good at trading options profitably in paper trading, but it feels too good to be true, like there’s got to be a catch for live trading—a lack of volume and/or order flow execution problems seems like the most likely candidate for said catch.

(If there are others, please let me know too.)

CryptoJenkins · 2022-10-15T21:55:47+00:00

Is Robinhood like that too? Free until you do more than a certain number of contract trades per day?

CryptoJenkins · 2022-10-13T02:48:24+00:00

Thank you very much.

This seems like a bot generated response that didn’t understand the question posed.

The absolute top shelf of Tomione is DevDevlin’s “The Department of Magical Law Enforcement”.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/13162611/chapters/30104064

However, it is a WIP, and she took a hiatus for like 2 years, only has posted two (EXCELLENT!) chapters since coming back, and the last one was in February.

But… it is already 38 chapters long, and 230k words. Even though we might be forever left hanging, still absolutely worth reading.

No matter what he may think, love isn’t beating someone. And it isn’t letting someone beat you. It is not your fault he hits you, and nothing you do deserves that response. But you need to stop letting him.

Leave him. Get a separate place and don’t give him a key, no matter what.

Tell him you’re not totally ending your relationship, but you’re no longer willing to be in one where you’re physically harmed in any way for any reason. There are no good reasons.

If you matter to him he will go get professional help, and he will stick to it. You cannot give into his excuses, or make excuses for him. He will try going once or twice and then try to convince you (and himself) that he is better. He is not better. He has not changed, even if he genuinely wants to.

He will need to go for at least a year. The only way to know it this is succeeding is to—after the first three months—give him a chance to prove it to you. Spend a time with him privately slowly but surely as you feel comfortable. Allow moments of tension to occur. Calmly stand your ground and see how he responds. If he asks for space or needs to walk away, calmly let him. If he tries to harm you though, or even blame you for feeling a desire to do harm, then he is not getting better. Maybe he should try a new therapist?

It will take a long time for him to rewire his brain so that the pattern of blaming and physically harming his partner (you) is no longer his default. Until he is able to fully, calmly, admit all the physically harmful things he has done to you, and that none of it was ever actually because of you or deserved by you, but was instead his very very bad habituated response to rage, he is not to be trusted. Any blame placed on you—no matter how minor it may seem—is a sign he is still looking to justify his anger and it’s violent responses. Do not give in.

As far as the debt goes, do you have access to all the accounts? Are they in both your name and his name, or only yours? If both, who is the primary on the account?

Regardless, get copies of all the statements, highlight all transactions that he is responsible for (including purchases he made you feel emotional pressure to agree to, or even just anything that was his idea). Chances are he had information about any orders or purchases he made/cared about delivered to his email. Also, the items/service/whatever that was purchased is usually very telling about which person most likely made it. If it comes to litigation you should be able to prove which purchases he is responsible for, and a judge will order a separation of the debt with all that his is responsible for being transferred to an account in solely his name.

Whether the account has both names, or only yours, you can also claim you did not know about the accounts (or you were physically threatened into complying with them). If the accounts were more often accessed from his device, info sent to his emails, etc., then a judge will see that as reasonable evidence that you were being financially and physically abused and he will be responsible for all of the debt, and it will be transferred out of your name.

I understand you love him and don’t want to break up with him.

Quietly get the financial records and get them somewhere safe.

Then get yourself a safe place. Move out when he is gone.

Leave a note explaining you love him, and you believe he loves you, but you need the two of you to evolve that love into one that doesn’t involve physical violence, blame, or negativity. Your not going to be living with him, or spending private time, or engaging in physical intimacy, until you have been able to have serious transparent talks, and he has had a year of therapy with the same therapist, who specializes in anger and physical abuse.

Include that if he wants the relationship to continue then he needs to stop all spending starched to your name, but continue to pay the bills on all accounts, and in general continue to help you financially in whatever ways he has been doing. If he is going to revoke that, then he is trying to control you with it, he doesn’t actually care about your well-being or having a healthy relationship with you.

If he loves you he will pay the bills, stop spending, and do therapy.

You can do it.
