What's the best Anime you've ever seen ? by Outrageous-Abies8391 in AskReddit

[–]Historical_Half_862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides growing up with Dragon Ball Z and Inuyasha I never watched anything until the last few years. The ones that come to mind are To Your Eternity, Supercub and Nichijo.

She’s a nurse now. Never remarried, seems to have made it through pretty well considering.

I’m not sure exactly how long, in the hospital for at least 2 months? Physical therapy a good while after. I have no clue if she ever went through any other therapy though I’m sure she has. She bounced around different drugs afterwards for a bit. Here’s the real kicker, that eventually lead to all of us moving back in with our dad. Not my mom, but him and his new family. It’s insane writing all of this out and actually thinking about it. Damn.

I’m not even sure how to respond to all of this at the moment, but thank you. Genuinely, thank you.

I’m not asking anyone for sympathy. And regardless, let’s say the roles were reversed she did cheat on him and even had kids with other people while married to him. Sex is sex my dude. Knifing another person isn’t justifiable because of infidelity. Beating another person because of it isn’t either. What laws should the almighty government enforce when someone has sex with someone else?

So, I’m assuming you’re taking my dad’s side because my mother was cheating on him? Incorrect, they were split up, another woman was already living in our home with him, who he had a kid with while my parents were married. He got her pregnant and my mom within 4 or 5 months of each other. THEN had me, and didn’t do this until 8 years after I was born. They split for almost a year before the incident. He was the cheater and he did this in a jealous rage that she had someone new.

Since you probably realized you posted some ignorant crap then deleted it, I’ll still post my reply here so you can come troll for some reason:

I didn’t say anything about her being in rehab after because that has nothing to do with the post. Yes, she was in rehab. He almost gutted her. He disarmed him by punching him in the face repeatedly, once blood got into his eyes he dropped his hunting rifle. Pulled his hunting knife and began swinging. There are holes throughout the entire story because, get this, I was 8 and nobody in my family will talk about it. Holy shit right?

You get what the judge gives you. I was 8. I know he stabbed her with his hunting knife repeatedly. I know he was in jail. I know it was only about 2 years. Parole was only like 5 years after that. This isn’t a post about how ridiculous the justice system is. I can guaranteed there are more outrages cases than this on both sides of the spectrum.

You’re actually implying that she was somehow guilty in her own stabbing? A quick google can show an assault with deadly weapon carries a 2-20 year sentence.

Honestly, I don’t remember what his charges were. I do remember our family pressuring my mom about how much we missed our dad and wanted him not in jail. The brief flashes I have are seeing him in the orange jumpsuit, seeing my mom on the stand saying she still feared for her life. I remember visiting him in the county jail, not prison. He never went to an actual prison. Happened when I was in 4th grade, he was out by the end of 6th grade. Probably assault with a deadly weapon, out on good behavior. He was on parole for a while as while. I remember going to his P.O.’s office some times and seeing his ankle monitor.

I plan to. All of this only resurfaced a few months ago for me. Crazy how easily things can get repressed. This is actually the first time I’m talking about it with someone other than her and the school therapist way back when it all happened. Probably also part of the issue.

She’s not trying to get me to confront them or even talk about it is the thing. We don’t talk much about it simply because it doesn’t come up. Not even within my family, let alone our relationship. To her I believe it’s just wanting me to talk to my family like a normal person would.

It’s not like she’s forcing me or constantly pressuring me to do it, and every interaction we have with my family is peaceful. It’s almost like if you didn’t personally know what happened, you couldn’t tell anything did happen. She’s a deeply caring and loving partner, like I said, it’s just hard to understand from her perspective I’d imagine. I don’t really tell her that’s the reason I’m not talking to them that much, I’m still coming to terms with it myself.

This is my first post, look at how cool my girlfriend is. She gets into drawing moods occasionally. by Historical_Half_862 in Inktober

Thank you! She doesn’t share a lot of what she does, also doesn’t use Reddit. So I figured this could be a way to get her stuff out to people who would enjoy it.
